INHALE DELIRIUM EXHALE
After the immense success of her previous performance ONE SONG, Belgian artist Miet Warlop, now creates an ode to imagination a wave of wonder and pleasure.
Miet Warlop, acclaimed around the world for her choreographic approach merging dance, visual art, theatre and performance, draws inspiration for her new performance from the movement of waves. As a symbol of change and unpredictability, and a metaphor for imagination and transformation.
In Inhale Delirium Exhale, Warlop – recently appointed to represent Belgium at the 2026 Venice Biennale – seeks to make tangible the inner turbulence of the creative process. Accompanied by a group of performers and more than 3,000 metres of silk fabric.
Images erupt, propelled by DEEWEE‘s music, in a choreography that unfolds like a ritual concert, a performance that is poetic and powerful, at the same time steeped in irony. A deep dive into a visual universe that is as immersive as it is overwhelming – into the delirium that arises between one breath and the next.
