LEGENDE | Ruhrtriennale 2024

In the organizer's words:

"I will take revenge on the world with love."

LEGENDE tells the story of the world of Sergey Paradjanov, a film director who is as famous as he is virtually unknown in the West. His works, which have also recently inspired the international star Lady Gaga, are of fascinating diversity and surreal fantasy. LEGENDE, however, is not a biopic of an important artist. Director Kirill Serebrennikov uses poetry and humor to turn Paradjanov into the allegorical figure of an artist, a poet, a wanderer, a fighter, a rebel. The result is a kaleidoscope of a life between passion, eccentricity, beauty and oppression. In ten legends, an infinite metaverse of cultures is created, in which every single person is allowed to exist in their uniqueness.
