After bringing us his Hamlet, blending dance and theatre and created with Robert Lepage, choreographer Guillaume Côté sets the stage alight with his latest work 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 to ensure a sustainable future. Have we reached the tipping point? asks 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 inciting us to act—is the common thread of this heightened dance, at times joyous and carefree, at times mounting to a relentless crescendo. With an invigorating beauty and energy, Burn Baby, Burn invites us to seize the present moment and pave the way for brighter days to come.
