Mari Carrasco 2024

Burn baby burn

Fiery grand finale in 160 bpm

Burn baby burn is Mari Carrasco’s third work on the theme of groove, and now it’s time for a grand finale in 160 bpm.

With the music as the throbbing heart of the piece, Carrasco challenges her dancers with subtle movements and step combinations. We’re invited into a cinematic landscape, to a world of dreams where the dancer soon becomes one with the music.

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