BJM Danse (Les Ballets Jazz de Montréal) will perform two of its signature works in a program at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday (26 March)in the Loeb Playhouse of the Purdue Stewart Center, West Lafayette, according to the Purdue News Bureau.The performance is presented by Purdue Convocations as part of the World Stage series. The program features "MAPA" by choreographer Rodrigo Pederneiras, a creation that combines classical ballet and Brazilian popular dance, and "Les Chambres des Jacques," an intimate work from lauded choreographer Aszure Barton. The musical score, which includes classical music, Québécois folk tunes, as well as klezmer, gypsy and Yiddish melodies, provides a canvas for the choreography.
The event includes a pre-show discussion featuring BJM Danse artistic director Louis Robitalle, who will discuss the works to be performed that evening and the aesthetic direction of the company. The talk will take place at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday (26 March) in Stewart Center, Room 320, on the Purdue campus.
Tickets are available at the Elliott Hall and Stewart Center box offices, 765:494-3933 or 800:914-SHOW. Tickets, also available through Ticketmaster, are $26 for adults and $19 for children 18 years and younger, Purdue students and Ivy Tech Lafayette students.
The date of this performance was changed from its originally scheduled date of 10 April due to a change in the company's touring schedule.
