And Van Gogh cut off his ear...
This is the story of the cohabitation of two geniuses, which did not end well. The final event, Van Gogh's severed ear, is well known to everyone. But how did he reach this level of despair, this insane gesture? A few weeks earlier, Gauguin had joined Vincent in Arles.
The latter had been living there for several months, with a certain serenity and joy in his brush. The idea? To found an artist's home here in Provence. The piece retraces these nine incandescent weeks. Condensed, of course, but with a real concern for faithfulness to the many known elements, as written under the expert watchful eye of David Haziot.
Friendship, genius, fragility... Come and experience art history's most feverish roommate.
