On 11 February, Ballets Jazz Montréal visited Sadler’s Wells to present a limited run of Dance Me – Music by Leonard Cohen. Approved by Cohen during his lifetime, Dance Me is an exclusive creation inspired by the rich and profound work of Montréal-based poet, artist and songwriter. Three internationally renowned choreographers were entrusted with putting movement to Cohen’s legendary songs: Andonis Foniadakis, Annabelle Lopez Ochoa and Ihsan Rustem. Dance, music, lighting, scenography and videography all come together in this unforgettable show, for which Ballets Jazz Montréal has been granted exclusive dance rights.
The Canada Club event featured a performance of Dance Me, with an exclusive Canada Club pre-performance reception and meet-and-greet with Alexandra Damiani (Artistic Director), Marie-Joëlle Tremblay (Executive Director), and the dancers of Ballets Jazz Montréal.
Thank you to all who joined us! We are in the midst of planning our next event and will be in touch with details soon. See you next time!
