Dance Me is BJM's (Les Ballets Jazz de Montréal) celebrated homage to the late Leonard Cohen, who passed away ten years ago. The show weaves together 16 of his songs — from beloved classics like Suzanne, So Long Marianne, Famous Blue Raincoat, and Hallelujah to more recent works — into a spellbinding dance concert that takes audiences on a journey through his extraordinary body of work.
The production is the result of a creative collaboration between three choreographers — Andonis Foniadakis, Annabelle Lopez Ochoa, and Ihsan Rustem — working alongside stage director Eric Jean. The original concept was developed by Louis Robitaille. Together, they blend their distinct artistic visions into a performance that is both physically powerful and emotionally generous.
Fourteen of BJM's dancers bring the show to life, delivering a performance that is as visceral as it is lyrical. Dance Me has already moved audiences in 96 cities across 17 countries, making this Montréal appearance a rare opportunity to experience or rediscover this acclaimed work.
The performance takes place on Friday, November 27, 2026 at 20:00 at the Théâtre Maisonneuve.
