The Cat Who Wanted to Change Her Tale

This unique production explores themes of friendship, trust, and humanity through the lives of four unlikely companions: a cat, an owl, a lizard, and a mouse. In the shade of a banyan tree's tangled roots, predator and prey have forged a fragile coexistence—until a hunter's trap captures the cat. Promising peace, the mouse frees the cat but struggles with her mistrust of her new ally. Eventually, the mouse is caught by the owl—such is the way of nature. But then the puppets decide to give the story a new twist.


The performance features impressive puppetry, with each character brought to life by four versatile performers. A modular stage design, complemented by video projections of the banyan tree, creates a moving experience. Accompanied by an Indian-inspired soundtrack, a poetic interplay of animal hierarchies, the dramatic encounter with the hunter, and the mouse's courageous rescue unfolds.
