The “Collage-a-thon” is a sort of modern, party version of classic collages. Inspired by Cohen’s music + videos, playing throughout the hospitality suite, participants create collages based on one of the festivals 6 themes:

“4 Old Songs”
“Inspiration/Temptation”
“Find Yourself Friday” (Buddhism, religion, minimalism)
“Dance Me to the End”
“Back on Boogie Street”
“Closing Time”

Not into collages? There’s plenty to do without getting into the glue…. Check out our massive Cohen library of films + music, relax with friends, or plan the details of your visit to Edmonton with the help of our volunteers.

Live Cinema Audio-Visual Performance
Commissioned by the Leonard Cohen International Festival 2008
July 25 & 27, 2008
Rice Theatre
Tickets $15 General Seating

Clinker’s “On the Other Side…” explores Cohen’s continued romance within the light and dark inside our human experience. An audio-visual “deep listening” environment which will draw inspiration from the vast depths of emotion written into the poetry and music of Leonard Cohen.

The lush bass tones of Cohen’s voice provide a point of departure for our journey inside Clinker’s cinema of sound and light. Drawing from years of experience in creating and manipulating music and audio, Clinker will deconstruct and reassemble Cohen’s voice into surreal “bass-scapes” using his unique and sophisticated system of analogue and digital electronics.  Clinker’s creation will bathe the audience in an array of Cohen’s “golden” vocal chords augmented with a connection between sonic and visual details. A specially designed sub-sonic sound system will be in place to reinforce the experience of extreme sound-movement through the body.

…a brazen and intoxicating blend of jazz, gypsy swing, Latin & East European influences! (The Age, 2005)

With a vibrant, contemporary edge, triple ARIA Award winning group Monsieur Camembert has been described as eclectic, virtuosic, theatrical and irreverent. Fusing the wild rhythms of Eastern Europe with tango and Latin music, swing, jazz, klezmer, tarantella and French Musette, Monsieur Camembert’s shows have become synonymous with an atmosphere of celebration and spontaneity. This is gutsy, emotive and irresistibly danceable music, played with originality, virtuosity, sensuality and flair.

The most successful world music band in Australian music history, the core group has been performing for more than seven years and has gained a wide audience at a range of events, including national and international music festivals, concert halls, various performing arts and jazz venues, including the Sydney Opera House, The Basement and the Art Gallery of NSW and celebrity weddings. In 2000, they were a featured act at the Paralympic Games Opening Ceremony and were broadcast on ABC Radio National’s live concert series: ‘Live On Stage’ three times.
