What would happen if cartoon characters would become real and alive? If they would, through their relationship and dialogue, quarrel and song, laughter and a few tears, discuss important questions like: What is happiness? What is friendship? If they would approach ecology, the truth about witches, if they would roam through Ancient Egypt, sail the seas. If they would become aware of what is responsibility and the care for the other, the acceptance and openness towards the other and  different. The lonely characters in the end realize that it is more meaningful to live in company of a friend, and maybe . a cat.

When I was little my mother invented a thousand and one reasons not to allow me to have a pet. Secretly, in a matchbox, I created a space for my pet, I even made it  a bed! Because I could not have a dog or a cat I found an ant that I kept in that tiny box. But he could not stay long in those conditions, and he died. I was desperate. But after a while, the sadness disappeared, and the memory of Toza, the ant, that box of matches, my secret and the persistence to take care of someone, remained.

It is most important to have close contact with animals our entire life. Our care and the relation we have with them ennobles us , makes us  better and happier. This performance was created and based on intimate and important conversations between Maja and me, often on the many travels and tours of DAH Theatre. When we missed our children, our loves and, of course, our pets. It was also created from our great wish to speak and relate to the youngest audience. I look forward to every performance and every child's smile!
