DESCRIPTION:<strong>Ballets Jazz Montreal <em>Dance Me: </em>The Music of Leonard Cohen </strong>is an exclusive creation inspired by the rich and profound work of Montreal-based poet, artist and songwriter, Leonard Cohen. Approved by Cohen during his lifetime, this riveting homage to the famed artist evokes the grand cycles of existence in five seasons, as described in Cohen’s deeply reflective music and poems. Three internationally renowned choreographers were entrusted with putting movement to Cohen’s legendary songs: Andonis Foniadakis, Annabelle Lopez Ochoa and Ihsan Rustem. Their powerful and profound choreographic world reflective of Cohen’s singular work is brought to life by 14 BJM performing artists. Surrounded by a team of celebrated designers, <em>Dance Me </em>combines scenic, visual, musical, dramaturgical, and choreographic writing to pay tribute to Montreal’s greatest ambassador. Dance, music, lighting, scenography, and videography all come together in this unforgettable show. Whether you are already familiar with Leonard Cohen’s work, or encountering his artistry for the first time through the medium of contemporary dance,"Dance Me" promises to be an evocative evening. It speaks to music lovers, dance enthusiasts and those drawn to symbolic theatrical spectacle alike.
