In Ballets Jazz Montreal’s Dance Me, three choreographers put their own pirouette on a tribute to Leonard Cohen

“It’s very ambitious,” says artistic and executive director Alexandra Damiani. “Each choreographer has a clear vision and language. Leonard Cohen wrote, ‘There is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in.’ When I see Foniadakis work with Cohen’s music, he finds the cracks between the notes, beats, and words.”
