The night invites celebration. Freed from the rules and codes that govern the day, it presents itself as an intoxicating world, full of desires and dangers. Mette Ingvartsen’s Delirious Night is experienced as a ritual, inspired by the dancing mania of the Middle Ages, carnivals, masked balls, and other celebrations that suspend social order. The Danish choreographer observes her era and the way bodies react to periods of crisis. On stage, nine men and women surrender to a delirious night of music and dance, inhabiting this alternative space where one can finally build a community. Their bodies, confronted with excess and collective frenzy, oscillate between joy and sadness, hedonism and exorcism, conformity and resistance.
بعيداً عن القواعد والأعراف الاجتماعية التي تسود النهار، يطرح الليل نفسه كعالم ساحر يصبح بناء المجتمع فيه ممكناً. تُعدّ Delirious Night لمِيت إنجفارتسن، والمستوحاة من هستيريا الرقص في العصور الوسطى، طقساً للتحرّر والشفاء.
