Theasy.com In his first Edinburgh fringe show Van Gogh Find Yourself, (#VGFY), NYC based actor, artist, and writer Walter DeForest gives the audience a chance to have an intimate moment with Vincent van Gogh, experiencing the passion, humour, and heArt of a great artist. This intriguing interactive portrait play is written and performed by DeForest whose dramaturg is based on scores of letters between Vincent and his brother Theo, and a short memoir written by Adeline Ravoux, which details Van Gogh's stay in Auvers-sur-Oise. Van Gogh Find Yourself (#vgfy) sets the record straight on Vincent's personal struggle for humanity. Audiences get to spend an afternoon behind the scenes with a great artist, watch him work, and more. DeForest, who has a striking physical resemblance to Van Gogh, tells Vincent's side all whilst drawing portraits and conversing with the audience. Commenting on the show which played to sold out houses at the 2015 FringeNYC , Walter DeForest states that "#vgfy is a different show every time. Just as a blank canvas never produces the exact same result, each performance will reveal a unique portrait of Vincent".
