Miet Warlop

Conversation with Miet Warlop – Focus Next – Institut français (10′)

Born in 1978 in Belgium, Miet Warlop received a master’s degree in visual arts from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Ghent. In addition to her performance work for theatre venues, Miet Warlop has created and presented an ever-growing cycle of visual art performances, interventions and live installations. She has been populating European performance and gallery stages for over twenty years with her absurdly colourful figures, living objects, and spectacles of form and colour. Her reflection about theatre as an artistic form has led to a physical approach where one can find elements reminiscent of her previous plays: the concert as ritual, the effort, the repetition, the objects… Everything in Miet Warlop’s artistic practice is connected, be it implicitly or explicitly. She sees her work as a cycle, just like life.

Miet Warlop is trained as a visual artist at KASK School of Arts (Ghent). She gradually explored the performative aspect of her work, which eventually led to creating pieces for theatre – alongside interventions in galleries, concert halls and museums.

Central in Warlops energetic work is making the static-dynamic and the dynamic-static. She offers clarity, the capacity to integrate things and to reconsider thoughts. She treats art as an experience, like ritual concerts or choreographic objects. She works in cycles rather than in projects and believes in the attitude that accompanies an idea. This blend of artforms gained her international praise. Warlop’s award-winning performance One Song has been touring the world since 2022.
