Benjamin Abel & The Unrequired Love

Upcoming opera director and countertenor Benjamin Abel Meirhaeghe and versatile composer, curator Laurens Mariën (ex-Soldiers Heart, Dolly Bing Bing) teamed up again for a radical electronic album and accompanying show.  

Their operatic dada-blues-punkpop lends itself perfectly to the mystical and theatrical love ritual they had in mind. ‘SPECTACLES’ is their brand new album and performance, including dance, a whole light show and triple load of smoke.
