Fiery grand finale in 160 bpm

Have you ever wondered what Viking Line’s karaoke bar would look like at five in the morning with David Lynch and Wednesday Addams directing? If not, it might be time to start, because Mari Carrasco’s latest work delivers the answer. Burn baby burn is her third work on the theme of groove, and it’s now time for a dynamic grand finale.

With music as the pumping heart of the piece, we are invited into a cinematic landscape, a dream world where the dancers soon become one with the music.

You’re pushing it, just relax, it’ll go up by itself, don’t put nothing in it unless you feel it – Nina Simone
