Vincent van Gogh died in 1890, John Lennon died in 1980, both of gunshot wounds to the chest. But Imagine what might have happened had they actually met? Five years before their deaths both men underwent profound change. Vincent renounced his religious ambitions and began painting in earnest, creating his greatest masterworks. John renounced sex, drugs and rock'n'roll for five years seclusion as a family, creating a son and his last album. Taking place at their exact moment of crisis and decision, this is a spiralling shout of love, death, art and legacy.
