Mathias Malzieu presents a concert-lecture adapted from his novel 'L’homme qui écoutait battre le cœur des chats' and accompanying album, narrated from the cats' viewpoint. He plays multiple characters onstage, including Tornado the kitten (mask by Sebastien Salamand, realized by Christophe Albertini) and puppet for June. The story depicts a couple after a miscarriage: she nearly dies and refuses more children, he persists; they adopt cats. Themes include gentle consolation and resilient yet unresolved grief. Like a film with voice-over on stage, it's a novel blend of intimacy and dream. Laughter, tears, and dancing await.
