About the play
Loosely based on his own letters, Exhausted Paint explores van Gogh's desperate struggle to connect; to mean something to a world that devalues art and its artists. At once tender, vehement, funny and heart-breaking, Exhausted Paint is a poignant look into the life of a man who was more than a severed ear. Never the same play twice, chance decides the sequence of scenes, mirroring Vincent's unpredictable and disordered life, breathtakingly relived here.
