How do you embody an enigma? DANCE ME is an
exclusive creation inspired by the rich and profound work of Montreal-based
poet, artist and songwriter, Leonard Cohen. The most ambitious creation in the
45-year history of the acclaimed BJM,
and the brainchild of its Artistic Director Louis Robitaille, the former
Canadian ballet star, DANCE ME was
approved by Leonard Cohen during his lifetime.
Under the strong and bold dramaturgy of Eric Jean, three internationally renowned choreographers were
entrusted with putting movement to 15 of Cohen’s legendary songs, from his
first album in 1967, to You Want It
Darker, released just before he died. This globe-trotting production inspired by the legendary Canadian
artist’s singular work, is brought to life by 14 of BJM’s most exceptional performing
artists.

with precision, strength and verve.” – The Calgary Herald
