The story is now a classic: when a young miller inherits a simple cat - unlike his brothers, whose inheritance is far more substantial - he has no idea of the animal's talents. Wearing boots in all circumstances, and with a particularly sharp mind, Puss in Boots is as cunning as it is combative, enabling his master to become the Marquis de Carabas.

Along the way, they encounter a cast of colorful characters: an exuberant Queen, a Princess on a quest for true love, and a formidable Ogre to defeat. Adapted and directed by Samuel and Julien Jafa, based on Charles Perrault's original fairy tale, this production was recognized last year with two awards: the 2025 Young Audience Musical Theatre Trophy and the 2025 Male Revelation Award for Nathan Desnyder.
