An impossible story. And a challenge worthy of André Engel and some of the actors who have been following him since Léonce et Léna, Le Jugement dernier, or King Lear. These five acts are a mixture of very different genres : an action-packed sentimental soap opera, La Petite Catherine is also, in many ways, a medieval chronicle, a fantastic tale, a detective novel, a cloak and dagger intrigue, a timeless myth, a mystical poem, a folk ballad... The story is crazy : why did little Catherine, one day, leave everything behind in order to follow Count Von Strahl, like a robot ? How could a simple gunsmith's daughter possibly think she could marry a noble knight ? And yet such was her destiny. But in order for this man and this woman, the two pieces of a dreamlike puzzle, to finally meet, an entire world must first be crossed. And it will be - as if in order to reinvent, the legend of Adam and Eve, such an ordeal were necessary.
