Ballets Jazz Montréal | Dance Me – Music by Leonard Cohen

After touring 96 cities across 17 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.

No one quite like Leonard Cohen, who passed away ten years ago, could shed light on the human soul with such rare lucidity. His unmistakable voice echoes throughout Dance Me, Ballet Jazz Montréal'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 dramaturg 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 Ballet Jazz Montréal’s 14 performers.

For its final curtain call, Dance Me sweeps us far, far away. So Long, Dance Me!
