Guillaume Côté

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 are 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?   After a sold-out run at Fall for Dance North in 2024, Burn Baby, Burn returns to Toronto for a limited engagement before it begins its international tour. Nine performers will captivate the audience with their dynamic range of movements that encompass extreme physicality, serene delicacy, untamed exuberance, and moments of levity.   Informed by his classical ballet vocabulary, Côté?s choreography contours space with resonant geometries and fervent human connections. Contemporary lines and forms with a sleek edge and refined athleticism give his work a bracing quality. Burn Baby, Burn is presented in partnership with TO Live and Show One Productions.
