Cat Smits er en regissør, skuespiller og dukkespiller fra den yngre generasjonen, men hun er også dukkemaker, kurator og programansvarlig for festivaler.
I over et tiår har Cat Smits jobbet med andre kunstnere og kompanier fra flere land. Flere års samarbeid med Ulrike Quade Company resulterte i at Smits deltok som skuespiller, utøver og regiassistent i forskjellige forestillinger, inkludert Radio Exit Live, Antigone og The Painter.. Utviklingen av hennes teaterinteresse ble også i stor grad påvirket av Duda Paiva. Hun spilte i flere av hans forestillinger, og han var kunstnerisk veileder for hennes soloforestilling Seil. Smits lagde dukker til Paivas forestilling Sonatinas 4 feet, og til Paivas og Sailesh Bahorans siste premiere på Avatãra.
Siden 2020 har hun hatt sitt eget kompani, og satt opp forestillingene Borders, Nouveau Fuck og Dis Order. Smits er gjennomført moderne i sine forestillinger, og viker ikke unna provoserende eller vanskelige emner, som hun presenterer i en original og attraktiv teaterform.
Cat Smits is a director, actress and puppeteer of the young generation, but also a puppet creator, curator and programmer of puppet festivals.
For over a decade Cat Smits has been working with other artists and theater groups from other countries. Several years of cooperation with the Ulrike Quade Company resulted in Smits participating as an actress, performer and director’s assistant in various performances, including Radio Exit Live, Antigone, The Painter. The development of her theatrical interests was also largely influenced by Duda Paiva, with whom she worked as an actress in several performances, but also benefited from his artistic supervision for her solo production Seil. Smits also made puppets for Sonatinas 4 feet and Paiva and Shailesh Bahoran’s latest premiere of Avatāra.
Since 2020, she has been operating under her own Cat Smits Company, implementing the performances Borders, Nouveau Fuck and Dis Order. In her shows, Smits is thoroughly contemporary,and does not shy away from provocative and difficult topics, which she presents in an original and attractive theatrical form.
