Light, yearning and promising, the sensual voice of countertenor Benjamin Abel Meirhaeghe floats in this electronic performance concert that balances in a relaxed way between spectacle and love ritual. In mystical mists, magical light and pleasurable theatricality, he stages an artistic highlight of bipolar genres and atmospheres, with operatic dada-blues-punk-pop, otherworldly vocals and sombre beats. As the royal jester of passion, Meirhaeghe crosses the threshold into a better future together with musician Laurens Mariën and dancer Hanako Hayakawa.
