“Burn Baby Burn” is a 50 minute dance piece by Mari Carrasco. It toured Sweden in the spring of 2024.
Have you ever wondered what Viking Line’s karaoke bar would look like at five in the morning if David Lynch was directing with Wednesday Addams? If not, maybe it’s time to start thinking – because Mari Carrasco’s latest work provides the answer to that riddle. Burn baby burn is her third work on the theme of groove and now it’s time for a big grand finale.
With music as the pumping heart of the work, Carrasco challenges his dancers with subtle movements and step combinations. We are invited into a filmic landscape, a dream world where the dancer soon becomes one with the music.
