Something is prowling through the spectacular Crawick Multiverse. Is it an errant endangered Scottish wildcat, an ancient mythical highland spirit, or a modern vernacular cryptid perhaps?
Join Sammy, cat catcher extraordinaire, as he tracks and stalks this elusive beast in an interactive, light hearted engrossing spectacle.
This act begins as independent interactive dual walkabouts of the cat and Sammy, transitioning into a promenade pursuit, and culminating in a high impact acrobatic circle act finale.
Cat Sith is fusion of high paced acrobatic puppetry (drawing on Lion Dance and pantomime horse) and physical theatre.
Suitable for all the family.
These shows will be filmed for future use.
