Description

In the intricate dance of life, our collective actions add fuel to the fire that is global warming. The beauty and chaos of the flames is tragically compelling; yet, there is power within us to spark change. Can we succeed in lighting an intentional backfire before we spiral out of control?

Burn Baby, Burn is made possible by the generous support of La Fondation Emmanuelle Gattuso.

Burn Baby, Burn was created in association with The Creative School Chrysalis and Toronto Metropolitan University.

Burn Baby, Burn is co-produced by the Festival des Arts de Saint-Sauveur.

Burn Baby, Burn was developed with support from TO Live.

Côté Danse gratefully acknowledges the support of the Ontario Arts Council.

Burn Baby, Burn premiered at Festival des Arts de Saint-Sauveur on August 2, 2024. The official premiere took place on October 5, 2024, as part of the Fall for Dance North festival in Toronto.
