Vincent - His Quest To Love and Be Loved (A Pocket Musical @ Die Centurion Teater)

ABOUT

THE AWARD-WINNING & MULTI-NOMINATED, INTERNATIONAL POCKET MUSICAL!

Exclusive and limited Centurion/Pretoria run!

The life and art of Vincent van Gogh is presented in a dazzling new light. Actor Daniel Anderson switches between a narrative voice and being Van Gogh himself, who speaks aloud as he writes letters to his brother Theo. By using reimagined versions of popular musical theatre, pop, rock and jazz numbers, this production creates a picture of a troubled man with a drive to create and a deep desire to love and be loved.

“75 million bid! Going Once! Going Twice! Sold at 75 million dollars. Congratulations, sir”

Towards the end of his short life, Vincent Van Gogh, who suffered from mental illness, was treated by Doctor Paul Gachet. Vincent writes to his brother Theo: “A great fire burns within me, but no one stops to warm themselves at it, and passers- by only see a wisp of smoke.” The 37-year-old painter died of a self-inflicted wound in 1890.

On 15 May 1990, The Portrait of Doctor Gachet was sold, within three minutes, for 75 million dollars.
