BY ELIZABETH ZIMMER | Returning to action after its annual hiatus, the dedicated-to-dance Joyce Theater offers a rare outlier: An hour-long, one-man show, Burn, made collaboratively by the multi-talented Scottish actor Alan Cumming and choreographer Steven Hoggett, in celebration of the Scottish poet laureate Robert Burns.

Arriving in Chelsea weeks after its world premiere at the Edinburgh International Festival, it has music by Anna Meredith. Cumming is already 20 years older than the Scottish bard was when he died, at 37, in 1796. Can he cut it as a dancer? We’ll soon find out.
