Ruhrtriennale — Festival of the Arts

Ruhrtriennale 2025

The 2025 edition was the first full directorship season for Ivo Van Hove and established his aesthetic and thematic profile. With productions addressing contemporary issues — the climate crisis, social inequality, democratic erosion — the season built on the Ruhrtriennale's international reputation. The high audience turnout and positive critical reception laid the foundation for the programming of the particularly ambitious final season in 2026.
