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?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For HUNTER Flemish director, composer and multidisciplinary artist 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, the roles we pla within those 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, Homogeni<\/em>c by the Icelandic singer and composer Bj\u00f6rk. Musically, the playful voices of B O D I E S meet original compositions by Liesa Van der Aa, songs by Bj\u00f6rk and electronic sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A musical struggle against insensitivity and social disruption. A hunt for the heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
