DIE KATZE ELEONORE

By Caren Jeß. Directed by S. Rudat
Nominated for the 2026 Cologne Theater Award

How radical must we be to be ourselves? Real estate agent Eleonore discovers that she is actually a cat. She has a fur catsuit tailored for herself and begins a transformation. Her senses expand—except for her sense of community. Eleonore’s consistently pursued individual way of life becomes a litmus test for civil society norms.
