Wednesday 23 September at 20:30 – Vincent is read to music

A musical play based on Vincent van Gogh’s letters and writings, by the actor, writer, and director Maxime Motte, accompanied by the pianist José Abel Gonzales

Van Gogh’ poetic letters with the music of Claude Debussy, Robert Schumann, Maurice Ravel …
A duet for piano and voice: together, they paint a light sketch of a mysterious artist, vibrant with humanity. Van Gogh’s paintings are among the most famous in the world, but the artist remains largely enigmatic.
