Vincent - a stranger to himself is based on the life and loves of Vincent Van Gogh and pursues the man behind the self-portrait, yearning for affection, balancing genius with madness. The piece explores the artist's relationship with the women in his life, as well as the relationship with his one true passion - his art.

"...it was evocative and moving, and I found the bleaker characters genuinely chilling"..."it made a strong impression on me"..."Contemporary ballet isn’t something that’s ever been on my radar before, but based on this performance it’s something I would like to see more of. I was very impressed by this company and I would definitely be interested in seeing future work by them."
