What would happen if there was a house cat that was present for the most intimate conversations between human beings, who understood human language and could talk? Matou can and she is here, among us. In her seven cat lives, she journeys through multiple centuries of world history, meets historical personages and provides us with some insight into their ways of thinking. Her view of human beings is often a critical one, at times also nonchalant and amused. This is a philosophical evening about being human from the point of view of a cat.
