Biography
Miet Warlop’s performances are a riotous mix of slapstick comedy and surreal manifestations, which create an emotional rollercoaster with a deceptively light touch.
Her work includes interventions and live installations alongside performances that have been shown at various festivals and theatres worldwide. In 2019, she presented nearly 85 performances in Europe and internationally. In 2022, Warlop became the fourth director to accept the NTGent commission for the Histoire(s) du Théâtre series with her performance One Song, which premiered at the Festival d’Avignon.
