One woman. Her journey. Her decisions. Sandra Hüller (Oscar nominee for Anatomy of a Fall) sings and acts the leading role, embarking on an epic journey through extreme emotional and mental landscapes. She is joined by dancers, including some from the Ballet national de Marseille, directed by the revolutionary artistic collective (LA)HORDE, Marine Brutti, Jonathan Debrouwer and Arthur Harel who also co-choreographed Madonna’s Celebration Tour. We follow the protagonist’s attempts to become her true self, defying the roles and expectations society has for her. She reinvents herself in every encounter, every relationship and every city. With I Want Absolute Beauty Ivo Van Hove opens Ruhrtriennale 2024. This emphatic music theatre production with chosen songs by alternative rock star PJ Harvey shows how we can overcome obstacles, grow from them and finally accept that we can only take life as it comes. And that can feel really good!

„There’s no greater thing for me than to feel like I’ve been able to give something of value to other people in this world.“—PJ Harvey

there's a detail in the photo that caught my attention.
PJ often wears a cross, but this time there's what looks like a wedding ring with it.
i wonder if it's her father's wedding ring? wearing your father's wedding ring is something i've never seen or heard about here in Italy, but (After a google research) it looks like it's not something considered weird in english-speaking countries.



i'm not really a fan of not minding my own business, but for some reason i'm genuinely curious.
am i going crazy? is these weeks' overworking and sleep deprivation rotting my brain?

Isn't that Alessandro Stefana and Enrico Gabrielli?

that was my original thought... the hands look big!
