My bones hurt and my head feels heavier than ever. In the meantime, a transparent liquid ink is spreading into my room. I can see my bed and favourite pillowcases which means that I'm awake... am I?

Delirium
introduces a female acrobat who has to distinguish reality from a complex combination of insomnia and daydreaming.
