“70 million are bid, 73, 75 Million dollars! Sir?, I shall then sell it at 75million dollars. Thank you, sir.”

Towards the end of his short life, Vincent Van Gogh, who suffered from mental illness, was treated by Doctor Paul Gachet. Vincent writes to his brother Theo: “A great fire burns within me, but no one stops to warm themselves at it, and passers-by only see a wisp of smoke.” The 37-year-old painter died of a self-inflicted wound in 1890.

On 15 May 1990, The Portrait of Doctor Gachet was sold, within three minutes, for 75 million dollars.

“The true essence of cabaret-style theatre leaves you wanting more and more as the show goes on.” - Devon Koen, THE HERALD

“He had me hooked from the first note right until the last” – Rod Amner, GROCOTT’S MAIL

“The show was a wow. People sat there afterwards in a kind of trance-like state”. Robyn Cohen, THE CAPE ROBYN

VINCENT, a multimedia cabaret, (National Arts Festival Bronze Standard Bank Ovation Award 2022) tells of a complex man with a ruthless drive to create and a deep-seated desire to love and be loved. The show tells of the artist’s search for love, told through reimagined versions of popular musical theatre, pop, rock and jazz numbers
