DELIRIUM is a 70-minute piece with five actors and two musicians, and is a co-production with the Hebbel-Theater (Berlin), Schlachthaus Theater (Bern) and Fabriktheater (Zürich). It has been staged at the German OFF-Festival IMPULSE, the Wiener Festwochen 2006, Reminiscencje Teatralne (Cracaw), and Seoul Performing Arts Festival in 2007 and will be shown at the Baltic Circle Helsinki 2008, after Bharat Rang Mahotsav 08.

DELIRIUM, a theatrical machine somewhere between digital dataflow and tangible melancholy, is inspired by the company's own experiences of the Finnish winter during their tour to Helsinki. People at a bar. The endless night. Shifting perceptions, slowly dissolving the borders between the fantasized, the remembered and the experienced. We find ourselves in regions the other side of consciousness, in a space between last orders and locking up. That moment when, having had a glass or two, we sit quietly in the corner of the bar and watch the room bend, and wait for the taxi or the next drink.
