The demand continues for taking VINCENET – HIS QUEST TO LOVE AND BE LOVED – around South Africa!
Since its inception in 2022, the producers of VINCENT have received multiple requests for the multi-award winning musical to perform in Potchefstroom.
In their ongoing quest to “take the show to the people”, Wela Kapela Productions are thrilled to announce that Vincent will be making its Potchefstroom debut at the Aardklop Nasionale Kunstefees on Friday 2nd and Saturday 3rd October 2026.
Vincent, the three time Naledi award-winning musical, stars Daniel Anderson accompanied by Paul Ferreira on piano, written and directed by Amanda Bothma.
Anderson delves deep into the enigmatic life of Vincent Van Gogh, exploring the complexities of his relentless pursuit of artistic fulfilment and genuine human connection.
Through reimagined renditions of popular musical theatre, pop, rock, and jazz numbers, this unique multimedia musical cabaret offers a fresh perspective on Van Gogh’s unwavering desire for love and acceptance.
Daniel Anderson’s commanding performance takes the audience on an emotional journey through the turbulent existence of the iconic artist.
From the very first note to the final chord, Vincent immerses the spectators in a world of passion and creativity, sparking a profound connection with Van Gogh’s timeless struggles and triumphs.
VINCENT – HIS QUEST TO LOVE AND BE LOVED, a multimedia musical, tells of a complex man with a ruthless drive to create and a deep-seated desire to love and be loved.
Vincent has enjoyed sold out seasons in all major centres in SA and last year experienced a sold-out West End debut performance in London in August 2025.
Since the show’s first performance, Daniel has been nominated as a Fleur du Cap finalist, the show received SIX Naledi Theatre Awards nominations, winning three.

Daniel Anderson states; “Vincent has just gone into its FIFTH year of touring and is edging on 150 performances since its inception in 2022! This journey begun in the very special and sacred space of the South African theatre festival circuit and so it is truly a great honour to present it at Aardklop for the first time.
