Benjamin Abel Meirhaeghe is a Belgian performer, singer and director. He was born in 1995 and was raised in Eine. From a young age he was fascinated by the universes of puppet-theater and visual art.
In 2018 he graduated from the Academy for Performance Art in Maastricht where he focussed on music and the big gesture. In 2022 he became part of the artistic leading at Toneelhuis, the Antwerp City Theater, where he also creates his work. Meirhaeghe is known for his extravagant, bombastic, alienating style, which he contrasts with sobriety, intimacy and intuition. He plays this shadow game both as a person as in his own work
