Burn Baby, Burn

Burn Baby, Burn is the latest full-length creation from Côté Danse, making its Toronto debut at FFDN 2024. The work explores fire as a symbol of passion and intensity, the very qualities humanity must harness to address climate change. Nine performers captivate the audience with their dynamic range of movements that encompass extreme physicality, serene delicacy, untamed exuberance, and moments of levity.

Bursting onto the Canadian dance scene in 2021, Côté Danse is the collaboration between Choreographer Guillaume Côté and Producers Etienne Lavigne and Anisa Tejpar.  Principal Dancer with the National Ballet of Canada and a performer of global renown, Côté’s choreographic language is praised for “blending classical and contemporary techniques, which brings out a gesture that is both aesthetically and theatrically significant.”

Burn Baby, Burn’s original score is by Amos Ben-Tal, artistic leader and co-founder of OFF Projects, a creation and performance platform for works in dance, music and text.
