Ballets Jazz Montréal - Dance Me

Concept Louis Robitaille.
Stage director Eric Jean.
Choreography Andonis Foniadakis, Annabelle Lopez Ochoa, Ihsan Rustem.

After touring 109 cities across 18 countries, Dance Me – Music by Leonard Cohen returns to Montreal one last time. A unique opportunity to experience — or rediscover — this powerful work that has moved audiences around the world.

Contains strobe effects, smoke effects and partial nudity.

No one quite like Leonard Cohen, who passed away ten years ago, to shed light on the human soul with such rare lucidity. His unmistakable voice echoes throughout Dance Me, BJM’s stirring tribute performance. Sixteen songs — from the iconic Suzanne, So Long, Marianne, Famous Blue Raincoat, Hallelujah, and Dance Me to the End of Love, to more recent titles — weave a seamless journey through his body of work, unfolding in a spellbinding dance concert. The result of a creative collaboration between choreographers Andonis Foniadakis, Annabelle Lopez Ochoa, and Ihsan Rustem, and stage director Eric Jean, Dance Me is based on an original idea by Louis Robitaille. The show fluidly blends their artistic visions into a dance that is both physical and generous — beautifully brought to life by BJM’s 14 performers. For its final curtain call, Dance Me sweeps us far, far away. So Long, Dance Me!
