JOLA und JULIUS - Theater Heuschreck - Wien - 2027

JULIUS scratches his head thoughtfully: How on earth did he end up here, in the “Kingdom of Cats”? He still remembers that he had actually been looking for his runaway cat. And suddenly, events come thick and fast. Excitedly, the cats tell him about the great misfortune that has befallen the kingdom ever since the Bad Cats—who are real crooks—have been spreading fear and terror everywhere. It’s quite possible that they’ve kidnapped Julius’s cat, because they’re planning something terrible...

Of all people, JULIUS—the boy from the human world—is supposed to become the savior of the “Kingdom of Cats” and help the cats in distress bring back their happiness. But JULIUS is anything but a hero; in truth, he suffers from terrible fears, feels like no one takes him seriously, and is often overwhelmed. Will he be able to use the magical items—which he receives from JOLA, a stray cat—to do something about the Bad Cats… and what does happiness actually mean?
JULIUS isn’t quite sure himself, but the more he commits to the good cause, the more he feels a completely new and surprising sense of self-confidence awakening within him…
