Each evening, bodies gather, and glances intertwine. The aroma of the meal drifts through the air. At the center lies a piece of meat, evoking the hunt from which it originates. Yet here, it is not only the animal that becomes prey. It is the mother. It is the silence. It is the domestic sphere itself. Through a sound-based fiction, the hunted animal—panting, caught between muffled cries and the growls of human voices—transforms the dinner table into a claustrophobic stage. The Domestic Hunt narrates the story of a controlled territory, where every gesture is scrutinized. Might this suspended meal be the stage of a final family confrontation?
