Somewhere out there, a witch lives. She has tousled hair, a prominent nose, dresses in dark clothes, and when she laughs, she’s truly terrifying. For her birthday, she receives an invitation from Orco: a date in the moonlight. He finds her beautiful—absolutely beautiful.
That night, the Witch sets out, and along the way she meets some forest dwellers who don’t share the Ogre’s opinion: each of them, in fact, believes the Witch should use magic to make herself more beautiful. She listens to their advice and changes her appearance. But now that she looks so different, the Ogre doesn’t recognize her…
“Beautiful, Absolutely Beautiful!”—winner of the 2025 Eolo Awards—is a show of extraordinary essence and refined complexity, a magical, entertaining, and touching journey that explores the ever-relevant themes of prejudice, freedom, and identity.
