At first glance, Kazuo Ohno and Leonard Cohen might seem like an unusual pairing, but their combined genius provides the inspiration behind an exciting piece of Colombian contemporary dance. Flowers for Kazuo Ohno (and Leonard Cohen) is a poignant and spirited homage to the legendary Japanese Butoh dancer and the iconic Canadian artist, created and performed by Colombia’s most exciting contemporary dance company, La Compañía del Cuerpo de Indias. Set to some of Cohen’s most transformative works and elevated by choreography inspired by the passionate and subtle movements of Ohno, Flowers for Kazuo Ohno (and Leonard Cohen) captivates, inspires, and sweeps audiences away, one beautiful and exhilarating song at a time.

“... it was stunning – sensual,
mysterious and deeply moving, just like Leonard Cohen’s songs.” — Sylvie Simmons, Cohen’s biographer
