Seen as a cunning joker and a thief, Puss in Boots is one of the most beloved heroes for the children as the adults! Is he just a master trickster ? He makes his master's fortune by playing tricks on everyone, even the King, but are they tricks or justice? As part of the 23rd South Ken Kids Festival, with themes of Kindness, Fraternity and Diversity, our anti-racist version reclaims Le Chat Botté for what he really is: all he does is out of generosity and justice and the story of the marquis de Carabas is one of the best models of social mobility. Our cat breaks down all barriers of class and origins. Filmed at the Institut Francais, 17 Queensbery Place, London SW7 2DT
