Theatrical Show by and with Marco Goldin - Music by Franco Battiato
Marco Goldin will be on stage to narrate, with his usual passionate and engaging storytelling, the last weeks of Vincent Van Gogh's life.
In the book at the base of the show he imagines that Van Gogh could have kept a diary in those final weeks and that is why he makes him speak in his own voice. Obviously never detaching from the facts that really happened. Within this narrative device, the theatrical action also lives, in the almost self-talk that Goldin will make as if he were the one who accompanies Van Gogh, and therefore observing him he tells it.
The entire set design will focus heavily on a stunning effect in front of the images of the paintings, their details and then vintage photographs. In addition to a film part specially shot in the places of Van Gogh in Provence and in the wheat fields and in the streets of Auvers-sur-Oise. There will be no shortage of rooms at the Auberge Ravoux, where he lived in the final weeks. As well as the memories of Dutch places. An aspect, this film, which will be continuously relaunched through the large screen of seven meters, panoramic and finally arched, with laser projections in very high definition, which will envelop Marco Goldin on the scene as he tells, thus greatly enriching the narrative. Also due to the effect of the long catwalk that Goldin will sometimes raise half a meter from the level of the stage, making it an integral part of the landscapes that will flow behind him. And so it will also be for the two additional screens that will seal the image of Van Gogh's bedroom, together with the coffee table and chair.
