The Van Gogh Shogh - July 8 & 9, 7:30pm at The Kitchen Theatre Company
A brush with genius: interactive anarchy with everyone’s favourite painter
What would Vincent van Gogh make of today’s 360-degree spectacles devoted to his work?
In The Van Gogh Shogh Donna Oblongata invites audiences to step into a frame of barely controlled chaos alongside the maestro himself, now recast as a bewildered food courier who has stumbled into his own immersive afterlife.
One part sip ‘n’ paint, one part karaoke and one-part Sotheby’s, The Van Gogh Shogh is a deranged and subversive solo trip through the great painter’s legacy with four protegees plucked from the audience to reproduce one of his most famous works under his tutelage, live on stage. Exploring the value of art and the meaning of success, accompanied by a 1980s power ballad, the Van Gogh Shogh is a wildly original theatrical experience that combines comedy, audience participation, and some smart commentary amplified by the subversively inventive twist at the end.
