Unga Dramaten, Stockholm Premiere 5. December 2024
Every day they go for a walk together, the cat and the human. The cat usually lets the human go first and they always go the same round. But one day the cat doesn’t really feel like doing what the human wants. People think the cat is very troublesome! Especially now that there’s an audience and everything.
And when it’s the cat’s turn to decide to go for a walk, she goes completely wild and heads straight out into the dark, so that the human can barely keep up. How do you actually get your cat, or your human, to do what you want?
