The legacy of the Bronx fires is complex and forever tied to histories of popular resistance and uplift. Scored to the beat of salsa, funk disco, and hip hop,  TORCHED! switches between 1970’s New York —when news of the fires made headlines— to present day survival and rebuilding. Part investigative theater and part poetic fiction, the production brings to light true stories of those who lived through the devastation to lay bare the infamies of the arson-for-profit business.
