MOSCOW CATS THEATRE – the international smash hit from Russia starring 20 cats, two dogs, eight clowns and lots of family fun – will receive its U.S. premiere at the Tribeca Performing Arts Center from September 17 until October 30, 2005. MOSCOW CATS THEATRE plays a weekend schedule only, performing Fridays at 8p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays at 12p.m. and 3p.m.

MOSCOW CATS THEATRE – the only of its kind in the world - features non-stop action by a troop of talented felines performing original and astounding acrobatic feats, integrated into a non-verbal, colorful and fun-filled play. The cats dance to exciting musical numbers, walk tightropes, balance balls on their noses, do paw-stands, jump from great heights, and unerringly negotiate complex mazes.

Created almost 30 years ago by renowned circus performer Yuri Kuklachev, MOSCOW CATS THEATRE has grown into one of the most popular weekend outings for Moscow kids and adults, selling out every performance. Kuklachev decided to start working with cats after finding an abandoned kitten in a park. A juggler, flying gymnast, illusionist and clown, he kept on training cats, disproving a widespread belief that cats cannot be tamed. "I don't work with cats, I play", says Kuklachev. "None of them is ever forced to perform against its will. I love cats, they feel it and they react with affection and tenderness."
