“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.
“The true essence of cabaret-style theatre leaves you wanting more and more as the show goes on.” - Devon Koen, THE HERALD
“This entrancing cabaret musical as the heart and soul of a West End Spectacular” - Richard Stamp, THE WEE REVIEW, UK
“It’s an extraordinary piece of work. Anderson’s is a name to follow. Unequivocally.” - Robyn Sassen
The life and art of Vincent van Gogh is presented in a dazzling new light. Returning from a triumphant international tour at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and nominated for a whopping 6 NALEDI THEATRE AWARDS (2024), VINCENT, a multimedia pocket musical, (National Arts Festival Bronze Standard Bank Ovation Award 2022, Fleur Du Cap Nomination 2023, OffFest Nomination Edinburgh 2023) tells of a complex man with a ruthless drive to create and a deep-seated desire to love and be loved. The show tells of the artist's search for love, through reimagined versions of popular musical theatre, pop, rock and jazz numbers.
Tickets available from Computicket at R200 for adults and R180 for students and pensioners.
