at-eternitys-gate

When Theo finds himself in a wheat field one evening, he’s not sure how or why he’s there. All he knows is he’s lost, tired, and plagued by moments of reminiscence. Accompanied by nothing but the sights and sounds of nature, letters from his brother, and a mysterious parcel, he attempts to retrace his steps. How far back will he go? How much will he remember? Can he see things from a new perspective?

At Eternity’s Gate is a new solo show about the life and death of Vincent van Gogh told by his younger brother Theo. This is a story of grief, familial love, and the sacrifices one must make for the betterment of others. The legacy of one of the greatest painters of all time is at stake: Will you see things from his perspective?
