The image shows the applause following the premiere of the performance "Pferd frisst Hut" at the Kraftzentrale in the Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord on September 11, 2024, as part of the Ruhrtriennale 2024. On stage are the participating artists, including Herbert Grönemeyer, director Herbert Fritsch, the Choir of Theater Basel, and the Bochum Symphony Orchestra. The colorful costumes and minimalist set design give the production a surreal and vibrant feel. In the foreground, the orchestra is visible as the audience applauds.
