Burning Tickets

In intersecting stories spanning two eras, a contemporary Black painter who hides his race goes to Germany for a show, only to find that the gallery owner has misinterpreted his work. And in the '80s a homeless teenager comes to New York to become an actor and is taken in by two gay men, who are themselves producing a new play. Titillating, taboo-testing and psychosexually insightful, this epic tale of ambition and self-invention bursts open the conceits of the worlds of art and theatre.

The Story

What Is the Story of Burning?
Burning weaves several stories from different time periods together. In one, a homeless, troubled teenager comes to New York in the 1980s to become an actor and is taken in by two gay men. In another, a contemporary black painter who hides his race goes to Germany for a show only to find that the gallery owner has misinterpreted his work. A gallery employee, in turn, has his own tragic family story to deal with, and these stories of self-invention and self-discovery connect in unexpected ways.
