Two highly original voices: one speaks, or rather preaches, the other sings. This will be a class-conscious Elfurenmis with a golden edge. Bert, Rashif, Louise and Andy will colour it in.

Alexander Deprez is a photographer, film and theatre maker, writer and musician. He broke through in 2025 with his debut novel Prins Albert. Prelude van een communist, a raw and honest reconstruction of his childhood. Growing up in a working-class environment marked by class violence and a father struggling with alcohol, he searches in the book for hope, redemption and connection. Something he will also do in his sermon. Musically, he forms the duo Sasha le Fou & Tippi Parade with his wife Sarah Neutkens. In 2025, they released their album Jean Mémoire, an eclectic mix of music, language and social engagement.

Benjamin Abel Meirhaeghe is a performer, singer and theatre maker who brings together music, text and image in intense and sensory performances. His work moves between opera, theatre and contemporary music, exploring themes such as identity, desire and vulnerability. Meirhaeghe is known for a distinctive style in which extravagance, bombast and alienation collide with sobriety, intimacy and intuition. Within B-Classic, Benjamin is a familiar presence and has worked on several productions, including the trio Isabelle Lewis, still to be seen and heard this year at the WINTER TALES festival, together with composer and producer Valgeir Sigurðsson and violinist Elisabeth Klinck.

The Elfurenmis series is a co-production by De VELINX and B-Classic and is made possible thanks to the support of Flanders, the players of the National Lottery and the City of Tongeren-Borgloon.
