Hunter

Eight players stand ready on a basketball pitch. The whistle sounds. The game begins. Something bounces over the floor. Is it a ball? Or a beat? 

Hunter is a music theatre game in which rules and roles mutate. Performer Naomi Beeldens is the coach on the sidelines; componist and director Liesa Van der Aa is the referee. The voices of the Berlin collectieve B O D I E S move around the pitch: eight bodies, eight voices. 

New music by Van der Aa collides with echoes of Björk and pulsating electronics. The game bends slowly into a hunt. The prey? 
Empathy. Humanity.
