An original dance, puppets, and visuals show about friendship, confidence, and collaboration for the whole family.
Based on a Hindu tale, La gata que quería cambiar la historia tells the adventures of an animal community formed by a cat, an owl, a lizard, and a mouse who live together on a banyan tree. They are not friends but rather preys and predators. They all fear the animal living above them in the tree, but they manage to survive nonetheless. Everything changes when the cat falls on a hunter’s trap and the mouse saves her in exchange of a promise: the cat will never kill the savior mouse. After this incident, the cat tries to befriend the mouse, but he never fully trusts her and, finally, it is the owl who intervenes mitigate their relationship. A story about confidence and loyalty in contrast with natural laws.
Coproduced by Thomas Noone with Grec Festival de Barcelona.
