An internationally renowned repertory company, BJM (Les Ballets Jazz de Montréal) continues in the spirit of exploration that has been its hallmark since 1972. This eclectic company of dancers captivates audiences and critics across the world. Under artistic director Louis Robitaille, BJM develops new work that is the result of a unique and energizing meeting between choreographer and dancer.
This performance includes the magnificent duo Closer by French choreographer Benjamin Millepied, danced to the music of Philip Glass, Fuel by Cayetano Soto of Brazil, and a newly commissioned work by American-born, Israel-based Barak Marshall. The diverse pieces contrast dynamic, virtuosic small ensemble and solo work with the energy and power of the full company.
