KMSKA LATE - Madrigals

Date:
4 September 2025 from 20:30 to 21:45
We are kicking off the new season of KMSKA LAAT with a bang. Young, up-and-coming talent Benjamin Abel Meirhaeghe has created a reworking of his most successful performance Madrigals especially for KMSKA. Naked, dancing bodies and acoustic singing enter into a dialogue with a selection of carefully chosen works by the Old Masters.
A multifaceted choir, accompanied by musicians, no longer sings with the wind but returns to a formless beginning. A place where all meanings of love and conflict are still to be sensed. With utopian enthusiasm, director Benjamin Abel Meirhaeghe stages Monteverdi’s Madrigali guerrieri et amorosi.
(Important detail: Monteverdi is said to have met Rubens at the court of Mantua…)
Past, present, and future are brought into confrontation in this choreography and ultimately find reconciliation.
