Mette Ingvartsen
Delirious Night
Italian Premiere
When the sun sets, a delirious night begins — full of energy, ecstasy and mystery. For the first time in Italy, Mette Ingvartsen’s explosive new performance invites us to abandon the rules of everyday life and make space for collective surrender. In Delirious Night, nine dancers give in to an unstoppable wave of movement. Driven by bursts of contagious energy, they plunge into a world of uncontrolled sensations, where joy and sadness, hedonism and exorcism intertwine in a shared, ecstatic experience. Accompanied by the live percussion of Australian musician Will Guthrie, founder of the ensemble Nist-Nah, Delirious Night explores excessive states of movement to ask how loss of control can become a social and political act. Referencing historical “dancing manias” and post-pandemic emotional fatigue, the performance challenges ideas of “normal” behaviour, offering a wild, liberating response to the constraints of the present.
This performance contains scenes with partial nudity.
With the support of the Flemish Authorities, the Flemish Community Commission (VGC), Tax Shelter of the Belgian Federal Government and the Danish Arts Council.
