The Collage Dance Ensemble
Turkish Cultural Days of Montreal
Ahmet Lüleci and The Collage Dance Ensemble
The Turkish Cultural Days of Montreal and the Pierre Péladeau Centre welcomes Ahmet Lüleci, well-known choreographer and dancer and the troupe The Collage Dance Ensemble on May 31st at the Salle Pierre-Mercure for an exceptional dance show.
Native of Turkey, Ahmet Lüleci and his dance troupe The Collage Dance Ensemble are not new to the Montreal scene since he has been putting on many shows and organizing dance workshops in Montreal for a long time, and now resides in Boston. The Collage Dance Ensemble is back for a dance show that is as folkloric as it is modern from the Balkan region, Caucasia and the Middle East, but also Anatolia (Turkey), which sits at the cultural crossroads of all the surrounding regions.
Lauded internationally, the troupe The Collage Dance Ensemble is an excellent example of multicultural expression and is pursuing the goal of bringing harmony to people of different cultures via dance and music, integrating the folkloric disciples of Eastern Europe, Caucasia and Anatolia along with modern and western technique.
When Ahmet Lüleci established himself in Boston at the end of the 80s, he founded the traditional Turkish dance group « Kemençe ». When the group became more experimental and professional, he added non-Turkish material and changed the name to 'Collage Dance Ensemble'.
Today the troupe Collage Dance Ensemble is composed of more than twenty dancers and puts on shows in the US, Canada as well as Turkey.
We invite all Montrealers to join us for this exceptional dance show that will have us jumping out of our seats to join in this passionate and energetic dance that bears witness to the cultural crossroads where it was conceived...
