Selected for Festival d’Avignon but show postponed due to covid Madame Van Gogh Finally reaching the Oésia room at Notre-Dame-d’Oé. Today is Saturday at 8:30 pm. Pitch: Summer 1891, Van Gogh is dead, his paintings are worthless, and yet… the painter’s sister-in-law, Johanna Bonger-Van Gogh, inherits this canvas that is ready to be burned. Van Gogh is missing from the room. It allows you to explore your life with distance, pleasure, thickness. Freed from Van Gogh’s physical incarnation, we walk through his soul, in the footsteps of his true personality.
