EMERALD KITTY

EMERALD KITTY is an adaption of the ancient/fictional Greek city of Troy, with a feminist, feline twist: Over 1,000 years ago eyeless, anasazi cats left their dying plantetary system-The Cat's Eye Nebula-in search of a new home. Their mothership THE IRIS brought them to the Black Rock Desert on planet Earth to build their new outpost using local materials. The cats are sightless because the Feline Eris threw golden eyeballs to the most beautiful goddess she-cats so they could see themselves through the "eyes" of others. After eating the eyeballs, all newborn kits were henceforth born blind. Directed reflection, performed by The Sphinx at the entrance to EMERALD KITTY gives participants a chance to "see" how other cultures define inner beauty. Participants manifest their true potential by meditating inside the crystal-bearing Kat-Thedral anchoring EMERALD KITTY.
