Man has always tried to understand the complexity of the world he lives in.

Creating increasingly sophisticated analysis tools, he got always more rigorous answers. However, he has never been able to catch the light he seeks.
HUNT talks about Man’s chase for the Truth. The performance features two characters on stage: the performer, who impersonates mankind, and a set of incandescent light bulbs, which represents the concept of Truth.

In the center of the stage, the performer stands still, almost in complete darkness. He begins to explore his surroundings, experimenting with the tools he has. He gets too confident and soon loses control of his actions: this excess triggers the light, first frightening and then intriguing him.

As Man claims to have a special power over reality, the performer increases his articulated body gestures in order to subjugate the light. Light resists, showing him how his arrogance and greed keep him away from his purpose.

The oscillation between Man’s dominance and light’s loss of control shapes the work’s development, highlighting Man’s stubbornness and growing frustration. 

Man’s moods, oscillating between egomania and delusional states, are amplified by sound. Sound also clarifies the hunt-prey relationship between the two characters, outlining two distinct sound identities, respectively concrete and synthetic, materic and abstract. The author sets out to reconstruct the never-ending human thirst for knowledge and catharsis through theatrical and musical material, staging an increasingly tense and hopeless sound theatre performance.
