Art House Productions presents "The Van Gogh Shogh" - A One-Woman Journey Through Art, Success, and Madness

originally published: 09/11/2024

(JERSEY CITY, NJ) -- Art House Productions is proud to present The Van Gogh Shogh, an innovative and provocative solo performance by the critically-acclaimed clown, Donna Oblongata. Blurring the lines between deranged "Sip 'n Paint," karaoke night, and Sotheby's auction, this 75-minute show dives into the life and legacy of Vincent Van Gogh to ask profound questions about art, success, and the creative process. Performances take place September 27-28, 2024 at 7:30pm and September 29, 2024 at 3:00pm.

Donna Oblongata, known for her innovative and eccentric performances, is hailed as a “visionary” by Geekadelphia and described by Play on Milwaukee as "inventive, brimming with compassion, and monstrously funny." Drawing from her extensive background in social practice art and punk rock roots, Oblongata's work is unorthodox, witty, and thought-provoking.

Performances will be held on September 27 and 28, 2024 at 7:30pm and September 29, 2024 at 3:00pm at Art House Productions, located at 345 Marin Boulevard in Jersey City, New Jersey. Admission is free (Suggested Donations: $5-$20) - click here to reserve tickets. Recommended for ages 16+, The Van Gogh Shogh offers a truly unique and entertaining perspective on the timeless struggles of artists everywhere.

Playwright Donna Oblongata is a critically-acclaimed performer, social practice artist, and award-winning writer. Her work has been called “big, bold, and endlessly impressive” by Baltimore City Paper and “balancing on the thrilling precipice of pleasure and danger” by New Orleans Box Office. She has toured extensively throughout North America, Europe, and New Zealand and her protest art is part of the Jewish Museum’s collection in Washington, D.C. With The Van Gogh Shogh, she continues to push boundaries with bold, satirical commentary on the nature of art and creative ambition.

Art House Productions is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to the development and presentation of the performing and visual arts in Jersey City, NJ.
