Ballets Jazz Montréal bring Dance Me - Music by Leonard Cohen to Toronto April 10-11.

A breathtaking tribute to Leonard Cohen, where powerhouse dancers bring his legendary music and poetry to life through bold, unforgettable choreography.

“The show is more than an illustration, more than an evocation. It allows us to internally revisit the notion of the human being and human existence, a vision of the five stages of life, all at once sensual, sensitive, carnal, and mystical, which is the watermark of Leonard Cohen’s work and explains the singularity of his impact.” —Le Métropole, Montréal

Dance Me - Music by Leonard Cohen is an exclusive creation inspired by the rich and profound work of Montréal-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, 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 Ballets Jazz Montréal’s 14 artists and the strong, bold dramaturgy of Eric Jean.

Surrounded by a team of celebrated designers, Dance Me combines scenic, visual, musical, dramaturgical and choreographic writing to pay tribute to Montréal’s greatest ambassador. Dance, music, lighting, scenography, and videography all come together in this unforgettable show.
