INHALE DELIRIUM EXHALE, the most recent work by Belgian choreographer and artist Miet Warlop, is a powerful wave of dance. Together, the disparate community of performers and 4,000 metres of fabric dives up and down to the music of DEEWEE. An explosion of images full of humour.
A wave rises and breaks into the empty space. Miet Warlop’s new performance opens with overwhelming force. Visual ideas and emotions accumulate in a tidal rhythm as something ordinary transforms into something larger than life. INHALE DELIRIUM EXHALEis a celebration of the imagination: A group of performers and more than 4000 metres of fabric come together on stage. Together they dive in and out to the music of DEEWEE and create an explosion of images filled with humour and nods to Greek mythology – a dissonant chorus representing all that which is too great to articulate. Following her celebrated guest performance of One Song, Miet Warlop returns to Vienna with her most recent work INHALE DELIRIUM EXHALE – another immersion into her fascinating visual universe.
