Burn Baby, Burn
In the intricate dance of life, there’s a prolonged performance, a metaphorical Burn Baby, Burn, where our collective actions fuel the rise in global temperature. This dance reflects humanity’s reluctance to confront climate change, captivating yet carrying dangerous consequences.
The dance is captivating, intoxicating, and truly enjoyable, portraying beauty amidst its fiery chaos. It’s like watching a mesmerizing explosion, both strangely beautiful and tragically compelling.
While this fire may consume aspects of our civilization, it might ultimately be a positive shift, acknowledging our harmful impact on the planet. The idea of fire as a symbol of passion and intensity is woven throughout the performance, reminding us of the power within us to spark change, but also the danger of letting it spiral out of control.
Nine performers 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.
Côté Danse
Côté Danse burst onto the Canadian dance scene in 2021, thanks to the collaboration between Choreographer Guillaume Côté and Producers Etienne Lavigne and Anisa Tejpar. Since then, they have been actively presenting a range of original works and immersive dance experiences.
Under the artistic direction of Guillaume Côté, Côté Danse establishes a unique vision, combining classical dance knowledge with captivating geometries and intense human connections. Their style is characterized by contemporary lines, sleek contours, and refined athleticism, creating a distinct and dynamic aesthetic.
“Guillaume Côté elaborates and evolves his style by blending classical and contemporary techniques, which brings out a gesture that is both aesthetically and theatrically significant. His powerful choreographic language allows the dancers to intensely express the depth of the emotions at stake.”
– Antonella Poli, Chroniques de Danse
