The hunter Actaeon surprises the goddess Diana at the river: she transforms him into a stag and turns his own dogs against him.
Composer Emmanuelle Da Costa transforms this myth into a choral piece for forty young singers from the Maîtrise de Radio France.
In a forest where sticks become guns and deer antlers, Victoria Sitjà stages children who are caught up in their own game.
