ESSENCE

  • 7:30pm
  • 7:30pm

Following sold-out Dance Victoria performances of Dance Me to music by Leonard Cohen, Ballets Jazz Montréal (BJM) returns with a program by all-female choreographers: Ten Duets on a Theme of Rescue by Crystal Pite; We Can’t Forget What’s His Name, a new creation by Ausia Jones; and Les Chambres des Jacques by Aszure Barton.

With their explosive, powerful and rapid dance style, the dancers delighted the audience. At the end, the applause was frenetic.
