Hunter

About

Hunter is a contemporary music-theatre piece inspired by Björk’s album Homogenic. Staged on a basketball court, eight female players gather and, with the referee’s whistle, the bouncing ball turns into both a beat and a heartbeat. The work questions rules and the condition of the human heart, blurring the line between a harmless game and a hunt. Flemish director-composer-performer Liesa Van der Aa leads the concept and appears onstage alongside the Berlin vocal ensemble B O D I E S. The score merges Van der Aa’s original music, Björk’s songs, and electronic soundscapes. Presented at Hessisches Staatstheater Wiesbaden as part of the Internationale Maifestspiele 2026.
