Inhale Delirium Exhale

The Belgian creator and visual artist Miet Warlop presents an ode to imagination and creativity
After the immense success of her previous work One Song, Miet Warlop has created an ode to imagination with Delirium, an unstoppable wave of pleasure and wonder.
Describing Miet’s work reveals secrets that words can hardly capture. Wonder and pleasure draw you into a kind of wave. It feels as if this round air cavity takes the shape of Warlop’s skull, where imagination spreads contagiously to the group around her—imagination becomes collective and, in turn, reaches the audience. The new performance explores, through nine performers, the whimsical nature of imagination on stage and the deeper meaning of a production that, like a wave, rises and then crashes.
