Die Katze und der General

"The Cat and the General" builds a bridge between the Chechen wars of the 1990s and the world of oligarchy after the collapse of the Soviet Union, through to the community of Georgian migrants in today’s Berlin.

Author Nino Haratischwili was born in 1983 in Tbilisi, Georgia, and now lives in Hamburg. She is one of the most important voices in contemporary German language literature. Following his production of "Das achte Leben (Für Brilka)", which was invited to the 2017 International May Festival, director-in-residence Jette Steckel now brings Haratischwili’s second biggest novel to the Thalia Theater.
