Every night Black Cat woos White Kitty, on a guitar he strums his ditty. In the songs the cat in love promises White Kitty many things, but his romantic serenades all have a bitter-sweet ending – until White Kitty starts taking care of Black Cat, and starts listening to his song despite the fact that “meow, the Cat can’t bow”… In the end she doesn’t bathe in milk, doesn’t eat pot roast, and doesn’t live in a castle as Black Cat was promising, she loves her black and white kittens. Well known rhymed feline fairytale by Ribičič offers us a witty performance in a kitchen, in the manner of the theatre of objects. The rich musical accompaniment gives it a special value.
