Comedy might not be the first association you make with the name Van Gogh, but this new musical promises a crazy ride through the artist’s life. It’s the year 1888 and the painters Van Gogh and Paul Gaugin decide to live together for a few months in the small French town of Arlés. Whilst the former falls in love with a prostitute, his impressionist friend is going through an uninspired period is hardly impressed. He dreams of taking off to Tahiti and painting indigenous nudes. In the meantime, Van Gogh considers how to woo his new flame… with a self portrait? Or by singing her a song? And so, the musical is born, romping and rollicking through Holland, Paris, Arlés and Sant Rémy de Provence.
