Adapted from over 500 letters between the painter and his brother—where Theo Van Gogh defends Vincent’s legacy shortly after his 1890 death. The play explores Vincent's passion, mental illness, and artistic genius, highlighting his transition from a pastor to a painter who sold only one painting in his lifetime. Van Gogh's compelling story crafts narratives that resonate deeply and illuminates the complexities of faith in our humanity.

Our Story

Lumen: (n) A measurement of light emitted per second from a uniform source of one candela.

The Lumen Theater is re-imagining your theater experience in 2026. We are committed to crafting stories for the stage that explore the human condition with the assurance of a Divine hope.
