Où est le chat?

Où est le chat?
i

Cats are hiding among the visitors of the small theatre — but who will spot them? The LiLu audience becomes feline sleuths and can even win prizes with a bit of luck. An interactive game full of excitement and fun.

The façade above the entrance of the small theatre becomes a stage – and we look into the audience. Cats are frolicking among the visitors, but where are they? The LiLu audience becomes feline detectives: those who spot the furry friends and reveal their hiding places can win prizes!

François Chalet

François Chalet began his career as a graphic designer and illustrator, creating his first MTV animation in 1998. Numerous clips and independent works followed for clients such as Expo.02, the Centre Pompidou, and Modeselektor. Starting in 2005, he combined animation with performance, installations, and architecture, and in 2019 he became the first artist to present work on Lucerne’s Water Tower for LiLu.
