2026 Maoli Performing Arts Festival "When Your Cat Says Meow, It Actually Means ___." (3 Performances)
Program Introduction
Adapted from true cat stories
Explores the relationship and love between humans and cats through comedic手法
Premiered at the 2024 Taipei Arts Festival, achieving a record of seven sold-out performances.
Plot Introduction
Wanting to live forever with their beloved owner, wanting to be loved, wanting to be the most important, wanting to be remembered forever, and wanting—
Hu-hu, a 14-year-old orange-and-white cat, likes eating, likes playing with balls, and especially likes staying with his owner. For a cat, such daily life has no remembered beginning and no foreseeable end. However, heaven does not comply with a cat's wishes; a drastic change occurs in this beautiful life—the owner actually brings home a new cat!
The newcomer, Lu-lu, is a curious and innocent (clueless) kitten, with a bunch of silly questions every day, annoying Hu-hu greatly. Worse still, the owner seems quite fond of this type, spending increasingly more time playing with him every day, always bringing him new toys, chatting with him, even letting him sleep in Hu-hu's spot! This is intolerable for a cat! Hu-hu decides to do something to drive away the evil intruder and reclaim the owner's love!
Production Team | New Century Night Cat Theater Research Society
A group of theater night owls born after the 21st century, just a scattered crowd of cats two years ago, gradually evolved into a small group. In 2024, they first performed "When Your Cat Says Meow, It Actually Means ___." at the Taipei Arts Festival, and have continued to release new works every year since. Please note, the night owls here are not owls, but cats walking at night!
Actors: Chen Yu (陳妤), Chen Yun-ling (陳允翎), Sun Ching (孫璟)
