About Burn

Burn is an original two-act musical inspired by the life of Joan of Arc and told through the eyes of Louis de Contes, a man whose search for certainty collides with a faith he cannot explain.

​

Set against the backdrop of one of history's most remarkable stories, Burn explores the tension between knowledge and belief, reason and mystery, and the questions that remain when our deepest convictions are tested.

Through soaring music, intimate relationships, moments of humor, and the spectacle of war, the musical follows Louis as he encounters an extraordinary young woman whose confidence and faith challenge everything he thinks he knows.

​

Yet Burn is not simply a retelling of Joan of Arc's life. It is the story of those who knew her, loved her, doubted her, and struggled to understand her. At its heart is a deeply human journey through friendship, loss, forgiveness, and the search for meaning in a world that rarely provides easy answers.
