About this show
Drawing on Vincent’s letters, with live music and luminous imagery, this intimate portrait of a visionary artist who found light where others saw madness, takes us into his world shaped by intensity, tenderness and transcendent vision. Through layered voices and shifting landscapes, it reveals a man searching for truth and acceptance in an unforgiving world. What if he wasn't broken, but simply saw and felt too intensely? Praised for its emotional power and haunting beauty, this production bridges Vincent’s century and our own, speaking to anyone who has ever felt out of place or misunderstood.

What the reviewers said
We have captured 4 published reviews and 20 audience reviews for this show from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe’s own listing. The excerpts below are the reviewers’ words, not ours — follow each link for the full review.
Antonio Gargiulo portrays Van Gogh with the sort of uncanny physical similarity and piercing stare that makes his frequent moments of standing still and gazing out into the audience almost unnerving at times.
— British Theatre Guide (4 out of 5 stars)
Overall, this piece is beautifully written, well directed and fantastically portrayed.
— Theatre Weekly (3 out of 5 stars)
An imaginative and engaging production that combines art and theatre beautifully – and left me wanting to see Van Gogh’s paintings again with fresh eyes.
