Direction, Composition And Libretto: Liesa Van der Aa inspired by Björks Album HOMOGENIC
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 BODIES 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 BODIES 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.
