"One Song" is what it promises: one song, the whole show. And at the same time, it is infinitely more. "One Song" is pure energy, "One Song" is life in all its power and strength, in all its fragility and hardship. A group of athletic performers try to play and sing this one song and are loudly cheered on by a euphoric group of fans. The exuberant atmosphere is infectious: the audience cheers along with the performers as they put on a performance that is a mixture of music and endurance sport.

With "One Song" Miet Warlop has created a masterpiece that has always elicited the same reactions since its premiere in Avignon: euphoria, awe, storms of jubilation.

Its pull is created by the highly entertaining interplay of formal rigor, sport and fun as well as a unique mixture of humor and virtuosity. And last but not least, the breaking down of our high-speed reality into small bits and pieces, into endlessly repeating loops, perfectly captures the spirit of the times: a fantastic evening between sports cult, performance madness and the feeling of being able to master anything together. A piece that grabs you immediately and doesn't let go.
