Puss in Boots

Great Hall

A musical for children

Inspired by motifs from J. F. Straparola and Charles Perrault

Premiere on 20 March 2026

A performance in two acts

Once, on a cozy evening, a group of friends gets together. The reason for the celebration? The cat's birthday! And what better way to celebrate the dapper fluffball than by telling a fairy tale in which it plays the leading role?

This will be a story not only about love for cats, courage, and the famous Puss in Boots, but also about an activity that seems endangered in our time today: singing, playful, and creatively free being together. How do you conjure something out of nothing? How do you tell a fairy tale together? Who still remembers how it went? Once upon a time, long ago, there lived... A father... No, a mother. Three brothers. No, a cat! And you will be the princess, and you will be the third son, and you will be the monster, and you will be the king! Put on the boots and let’s begin!
