In Infinity Burns, it is the year 1599 and the monk Giordano Bruno is about to be burned at the stake. His crime: believing that the universe is infinitely large. He has seven days to convince the inquisition that he is right, or recant his views. Set in the dungeons of the inquisition and in the vastness of Bruno’s own imagination, Infinity Burns explores what it takes to live in connection with our internal truth, and when to let it go.
