The tale of the cat that walked by himself

Rudyard Kipling, the creator of The Jungle Book, explained the world to his children with just-so tales, including the one about the cat that went its own way. In these fantastic stories, their wondrous ideas and sometimes philosophical reflections on the course of the world, a profound, humorous, playful explanation can be found for every aspect of man and animal, no matter how outlandish. Based on these stories, Mike Svoboda and Anne-May Krüger have developed an opera (not only suitable for children) that humorously and poetically celebrates togetherness and individuality.
