Inhale Delirium Exhale

04.06.25 — 07.06.25

CANCELLED --- After the immense success of her previous performance ‘ONE SONG’, Belgian artist Miet Warlop, artist in residence at NTGent, now creates an ode to imagination with ‘Delirium’, 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 1,500 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.
