Satoko Ichihara writes and directs plays that question human attitudes, the physiology of the body and the unease they generate. Together, her different works constitute a reflection on the genealogy of violence. In KITTY, she explores the excesses of a contemporary society in which behavious and desires are shaped by excessive consumerism, patriarchy and capitalism. Playing on the meaning of the word "kawaii" (cute), she draws up a humorous, subtle analogy between the treatment of animals and objectification of women. She bases her observations on research into sex trafficking, the position of women in today's society and meat consumption. Performed here by Japanese actresses only, after it was first developed with actresses from Japan, South Korea and Hong Kong, the radical redefinition of life and sexuality the play brings us acts as a shockwave.
