With Burn Baby Burn, choreographer Guillaume Côté sets the stage ablaze in his brand new contemporary dance and ballet creation for nine performers.
A powerful metaphor, Burn Baby, Burn tackles a hot topic: climate change and the need for collective awareness. The work calls for urgent action for a sustainable future. Have we reached the tipping point? wonders Guillaume Côté. What if the flame that burns within us could be put to good use? Fire, with its passion and intensity—a double-edged sword, capable of consuming us as well as inspiring us to move—is the common thread running through this intense dance, at times joyful and carefree, at others building to a relentless crescendo. With its revitalizing beauty and energy, Burn Baby, Burn invites us to embrace the present and pave the way for a dancing tomorrow.
