In Delirium, a couple is locked in an endless argument while the world outside collapses into chaos. As the boundaries between reality and delusion dissolve, Khamatova ("Her") and Burkovskiy ("Him") inhabit a space where conflict becomes connection, and contradiction becomes a form of devotion. What begins as absurdist comedy reveals its deeper truth: two people fighting not against each other, but for each other's continued existence.

Delirium reunites Golyak with an international design team behind the company's critically acclaimed award-winning production of Our Class including Scenic and Properties Design by Jan Pappelbaum , Costume Design by Sasha Ageeva , and Music Composition by Anna Drubich , plus Lighting Design by Jeff Adelberg , Sound Design by Denis Zabiyaka , and Arlekin production by Nick Schwartz-Hall .
