Bende van Beuving

In late 2016, Leonard Cohen died who, with his dark voice and beautiful lyrics, captivated generations. ‘So long Cohen’ features the best-known songs of this charismatic Canadian folk singer, composer and poet. In addition, ‘So long Cohen’ is a voyage of discovery into who Leonard Cohen really was.

Ernest Beuving sings and searches for Cohen. He does this search partly in a cabaret-like way. For instance, through his imitations, he allows numerous caricatured table hosts to join the search; from Maarten van Rossem and Nico Dijkshoorn to Bob Dylan and Armand.

In short: an evening of wonderful Cohen music with humour, emotion and poetry:

'there is a crack in everything,
that's how the light gets in'
(Leonard Cohen)
