TITAS/DANCE UNBOUND, in association with AT&T Performing Arts Center, Presents
DANCE ME: THE MUSIC OF LEONARD COHEN
BALLETS JAZZ MONTRÉAL
Part of our TITAS/DANCE UNBOUND Series, DANCE ME : THE MUSIC OF LEONARD COHEN was created with Leonard Cohen personal blessing. Dance Me is more than a tribute, it is a breathtaking translation of a legend’s soul into an exciting new show, and this is that last chance to see it!
From the depth of his voice to the sharp wit of his lyrics, these world-class dancers embody the very rhythm of Leonard Cohen’s poetry.
Tributes are often echoes but Dance Me is a roar. Don’t just watch the music. See it.
Dance Me is an exclusive creation inspired by the rich and profound work of Montreal-based poet, artist and songwriter, Leonard Cohen, performed by Ballet Jazz Montreal.
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, Dance Me 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.
