Être Casanova et être un moine. Être un plaisantin et un mélancolique. Être un poète, une star, un troubadour et un ange : être Leonard Cohen. Toute sa vie, l'éternel passant aura déplié sa trajectoire en amoureux du paradoxe, sans cesser de faire ce qu'il fait le mieux : aller de ville en ville, séduire les femmes et raviver nos cœurs. Entre New York, Montréal et l'île grecque d'Hydra, Leonard Cohen : L'Homme qui voyait tomber les anges suit à la trace cette vie cosmopolite menée comme un perpétuel dialogue avec Dieu, avec soi-même et avec les avalanches.

Known as opera’s “disrupter-in-residence,” director Yuval Sharon has never adhered to the art form’s conventions. In his many productions in both the United States and Europe, he constantly challenges the perception of opera as aloof by urging, among other things: performing operas in “non-places,” such as parking lots; encouraging the use of amplification; and shuffling the traditional structure of classic works, like performing Puccini’s La bohème in reverse order, ending not with the tubercular heroine Mimi’s death but with her first falling in love.

After more than two decades of research and travels, Christophe Lebold, who befriended the poet and spent time with him in Los Angeles, delivers a stimulating analysis of Cohen’s life and art. Gracefully blending biography and essay, he interrogates the mission Cohen set out for himself: to show us that darkness is just the flip side of light.

Their distinctive sound paved the way for the dance music explosion that followed, earning them the reputation as one of the most influential bands of their generation and changing the course of popular music.
