"They become one body. The beats alternating with the classical performance of Monteverdi work wonderfully here."

"In Madrigals , Benjamin Abel Meirhaeghe sets to work with Claudio Monteverdi's eighth book of madrigals. But since the emotions of love and struggle belong to us all, the same applies to the performance of canti guerrieri and amorosi. Privileges and dogmas do not exist in BAM's artistic universe, so the dancers sing and the singers dance. Monteverdi survives all that. More than that, his music is the perfect soundtrack for an hour-and-a-half-long ritual where our humanity itself is addressed and celebrated."

"Not a real choreography but, rather a performance. (...) Here the body, the voice, the singing, the action, the scenography and all the other elements summoned on stage suggest a very sophisticated series of intuitions. The ensemble is a madrigal in name and in fact, which establishes a totally carnal relationship with Monteverdi's music. In this show, the archive is present according to a dimension that we would define "from Wunderkammer". On stage, from Monteverdi to performance art, a thread is stretched which, when looked closely, is a real game of mirrors. a still and always current dimension of the discourse on the performing arts. Creative processes feed on ever new and different relationships with the past and with the past of the arts themselves. "
