Vincent - a Stranger to Himself

​'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.

Design: Rae Piper

"The evening and your performances were inspirational and I can't stop singing your praises." (Vince Eager, Pop Singer)

"...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." Read the full review by clicking here. (Loitering in the Theatre)
