Words become songs, music becomes
pictures and pain transforms into beauty.
- Danish Press
A spellbinding performance steeped in the seductive and evocative music of songwriting legend
Leonard Cohen. An international sensation!
Combining theatre, dance, visual arts and live music, this ground-breaking work explores the
architecture of the body and abandons itself to the irresistible sensuality, longing and
melancholy that define the lyrics and music of Dance Me to the End of Love and other songs by
Leonard Cohen. Created by the world renowned Granhøj Dans company in Aarhus, Denmark, the
production has been lauded by international critics for its brilliant imagination and broad appeal.
Founded by Artistic Director and Choreographer Palle Granhøj, the thirteen member company has
toured extensively around the world.

W hen I saw this production in Amsterdam, I knew that
I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to present it in Montreal. The audience was completely
enraptured by the bold imagery, the gorgeous musical arrangements and
the dream-like theatricality.
