Miet Warlop (Belgium)
INHALE DELIRIUM EXHALE
Southbank Centre’s Queen Elizabeth Hall
Sat 23 & Sun 24 Jan 2027
UK Premiere

Art and life blur in this delirious act of creation, destruction, and renewal.

Belgium’s representative at the 2026 Venice Biennale, visual artist Miet Warlop dramatically combines dance-theatre and live art performance in a hypnotic storm of movement, fabric, and sound. Drawing inspiration from the movement of waves as symbols of change and unpredictability Inhale Delirium Exhale reveals the hidden turbulence of the creative process.

Across a stage flooded with some six thousand metres of silk and cashmere, performers wrestle with waves of gorgeously sensuous material that seem to breathe, tremble, and overwhelm. It’s a world charged with static energy, where chaos meets beauty.

Set to a pulsating score by DEEWEE, Inhale Delirium Exhale unveils as a living painting, plunging into a visual universe that is as immersive as it is overwhelming, exploring the delirium that happens between one breath and the next.

“Miet Warlop turns 4 miles of silk into a stunning spectacle” New York Times

“Warlop is not a choreographer, nor a theatre director, nor a painter, but all of these things together” Il Tempo
