​A group of eight players meet on a basketball court. The referee blows the whistle. The game starts. Something bounces. It could be a ball. It could also be a beat. Are we witnessing a joyful game? Or are we part of a hunt for humanity?

​

For HUNTER Flemish director, composer and multidisciplinary explorer Liesa Van der Aa gathers with the Berlin vocal ensemble B O D I E S for a game of basketball. For a play with rules, the consequences of rules and the human condition. For a play about one of the most discussed topics in opera: the state of the heart. Inspired by one of the most iconic works of contemporary pop music, Homogenic by the Icelandic singer and composer Björk. Musically, the playful voices of B O D I E S meet original compositions by Liesa Van der Aa, songs by Björk and electronic sounds.

A musical struggle against insensitivity and social disruption. A hunt for the heart.
