Théâtre de l'Adresse « Diffusion », 2 avenue de la Trillade, Avignon

A man wants to change his life and become an artist, but which art should he choose and how should he get there?

Very quickly, inspired by the letters Vincent wrote to his brother Theo van Gogh, he discovers a path, but will he want to follow it all the way?

This exploration of the correspondence between Vincent van Gogh and his younger brother gives us, along the way, a lesson in painting, in total artistic commitment, in self-denial, philosophy and poetry, but not in how to live… The teachings of the most expensive and the poorest of painters are worth their weight in gold, all the more so as they were paid for so dearly…
