Ne ratez pas cette histoire émouvante de Vincent Van Gogh réalisée par Jean–Michel Richaud.

On March 1, AFMSP is welcoming Jean-Michel Richaud to perform the one-man play "Vincent: the Real Story of Van Gogh". Originally written by famous actor and author, Leonard Nimoy (who is more notably known for playing Spok in the original Star Trek films), this play is an adaptation of a 1979 drama, "Vincent," which was directed by Leonard Nimoy and written by Philip Stevens.

The play itself recounts the story of Vincent Van Gogh’s brother, Theo, as he recuperates a few days after Vincent dies from suicide. With rumors going around Paris about Vincent being a poor madman, a prostitute lover, and an unruly foreigner, it seems that Vincent was a very misunderstood artist and an outcast in society.

Based on over 500 letters exchanged between Theo and Vincent, the play examines the "real life" of Vincent Van Gogh from the perspective of Theo, Vincent’s lifelong supporter, who will not let his brother’s reputation be tarnished after this horrific event. According to Le Monde (France), the play is "a fantastic ride" that should not be missed!

Throughout the play, more than a hundred of Van Gogh’s paintings are projected on a framed screen, providing a rich overview of the artist’s work as well as a visual complement to the unfolding story.

The show will be followed by a discussion and Q&A with actor Jean–Michel Richaud.
