Delirium, the most recent work by Belgian choreographer and artist Miet Warlop, is a powerful whirlwind of dance by a disparate community of five performers and 1,500 metres of fabric that provides a stage for human fears, desires and secrets.

With Delirium, Belgian choreographer Miet Warlop is transporting the age-old concept of the ancient chorus into our fragmented present day. In Greek tragedy, the chorus represented all that which was too great to articulate, everything that lay beyond the narrative. Warlop renews the mythical power of the chorus as a community of the disparate that provides a stage for human fears, desires and secrets. Every voice retains its singularity in this dissonant choir; it is Warlop’s impressive answer to a present day in which we get together but rarely find each other: a powerful whirlwind of dance for five performers and 1,500 metres of fabric, in constant movement, as if struggling for quietude. The fabrics bulge, slip, form heaps and caress each other. Thus, Delirium becomes a celebration of individual variety, which places that which unites us at the centre. Following her celebrated guest performance of One Song, Miet Warlop is returning to Vienna with her most recent work, Delirium.
