This performance will be followed by a 20-minute discussion with the audience on Environmentally Sustainable Theatre-Making Practices in Singapore.

Vincent van Gogh is dead. His brother, Theo, who was too overcome with grief to speak at the memorial, has invited artists, friends and anyone who would listen to him to an evening of shared memories of his beloved brother. It is his hope that he will finally be able to express himself that night and do justice to Vincent's legacy and reputation.
Originally presented by the Guthrie Theatre, this multi-image dramatic staging received rave reviews when it was toured with Leonard Nimoy (famous as Spock from 'Star Trek') playing the one extraordinary role. As the Variety critic put it, "The actor doesn't have the stage to himself. He plays against the celebrated artist's brilliant painting..."
EFFORT TO BE ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS
Theatre has been often used as a vehicle to communicate environmental issues like global warming and climate change. However, this might not mean that it had applied any environmentally conscious practices in presenting that message. This play explores the impact of theatre-making on the environment, and barriers of adopting Greener theatre-making practices in Singapore through readings, articles and interviews with theatre-makers.
Charlinda & AGAM Theatre Lab presents "Vincent" by Leonard Nimoy, to show audiences that green practices can be applied to any type of performance - and not only in performances about the environment, whilst balancing the artistic integrity of the work.
In addition, this presentation will celebrate the famous artist Vincent Van Gogh on his birthday month of March, while hoping to achieve the following:
1. To raise awareness of the environmental impact of performance making, and
2. To inspire young theatre makers to explore other green performance-making practices and discover their own ways of reducing the carbon footprint in their future works.
3. Create a brighter spark in the community to positively challenge the way we are creative.
