From the jury report: "Courtney May Robertson previously proved herself to be a gifted performer and now, in 'HUNTER', also shows herself to be a very outspoken and challenging creator. In a dark ritual, a duo - one of flesh and blood, the other of foam and silicone - perform precise movements and meticulous actions. On the hypnotic sound design of Acidic Male, Robertson lets the audience navigate between disgust and fascination. Virtuoso, she draws on various idioms such as mime, krumping, dance and puppetry. In the final scene, Manuel Boutreur's wonderful lighting and set design together with Robertson's abandon bring the audience to an overwhelming catharsis."
DansBrabant was involved as co-producer of HUNTER.
Congratulations Courtney!
