Immaginate un’artista capace di trasformare la scena teatrale in un quadro, dove corpi umani e sculture si fondono in un unico movimento e ogni suono sembra provenire da un sogno surreale. Questa è Miet Warlop, nata nel 1978 a Torhout (Belgio), ma attiva tra Gand, Bruxelles e Berlino — città che riflettono il suo spirito nomade e multidisciplinare. Dopo essersi laureata al KASK di Gand, ha iniziato a sviluppare un linguaggio scenico unico, al confine tra danza, arte visiva, teatro, installazione e concerto.

Miet Warlop: The Art of Navigating Chaos
The Romaeuropa Festival 2025 welcomes, for the first time in Italy, in co-production with the Fondazione Teatro di Roma and as part of the program dedicated to Flanders—organized in collaboration with Flanders State of the Art—one of the most radical and visionary voices in the European performance scene: Miet Warlop.
Who is Miet Warlop?
Imagine an artist capable of transforming a theatrical stage into a moving painting, where human bodies blend with kinetic sculptures and every sound feels like it’s coming from a surreal dream. This is Miet Warlop, born in 1978 in Torhout (Belgium), but active between Ghent, Brussels, and Berlin—cities that reflect her nomadic and multidisciplinary spirit. After graduating from KASK in Ghent, she developed a unique stage language at the crossroads of dance, visual art, theater, installation, and concert.
She’s not a choreographer, not a director, not a painter—but all of these things at once. Her performances seem to be built on a principle of controlled chaos, as if every gesture, every fall, every scenic transformation were governed by a physical law all her own. Works like Springville (2009), Mystery Magnet (2012), and Fruits of Labor (2016) have been presented in major theaters and festivals across Europe, becoming true sensory experiences. With her recent piece One Song (2022), she had her performers run, sweat, and scream on an inclined platform, while a live band played a single song repeated like a mantra—a powerful metaphor for pain, loss, and endurance. With this impressive artistic journey, she will represent Belgium at the Venice Biennale Arte in 2026 (together with curator Caroline Dumalin), promising to make the entire Pavilion dance.
A Sea of Fabrics: 6,500 Meters of Silk and Cashmere to Portray Creative Power
INHALE, DELIRIUM, EXHALE seems to raise the stakes even further: in its Italian premiere on September 23 and 24 at Teatro Argentina, the performance not only continues to blend dance, theater, installation, and music, but also promises to place center stage a mass of over 6,500 meters of fabric—silk and cashmere sewn into large, colorful sails. Not mere decoration but actual protagonists in motion, the fabrics rise, sway, and move with the performers, creating a visual space in constant transformation, accompanied by the electronic music of the DEEWEE collective (the cult label founded by the Dewaele brothers—Soulwax, key figures in the international electronic music scene).
What emerges is a visual and sensory experience aimed at transforming the stage into a shifting landscape, evoking images and forms that range from Greek mythology to contemporary impressions. These fabrics become a metaphor for creative thought amid the chaos of the present—a representation of Warlop’s own restless creativity. It’s no coincidence that, starting from its title, the performance seems to conjure a continual oscillation between lightness and tension, chaos and disorder; the delirium that creeps in between one breath and the next, powerfully narrating each cycle of life and creation. Within this fluctuation, Warlop invites us to enter: a bare theatrical machine and an ensemble of performers struggling against waves of matter—or perhaps, of pure dream.
