Pisica Patrata helps the Capitol Summer Theatre to participate in the city’s life. Invited by Save or Cancel, he illustrated the “spirit of the place” in 2009 and 2016, the green cat interacting with passersby on Constantine Mille. The new Pisica Patrata artistic intervention on the facade of the theatre re-uses the existing display system for commercials and the two windows, which replaced the original statues. “Exit through Sărindar“, anticipating the moment when the urban animals will be amused in the garden of the summer theatre. Alexandru Ciubotariu aka Pisica Pătrată is one of the most appreciated illustrators and muralists in Romania, and also the founder of the Comic Books Museum. Always set to work, he draws square cats and does not keep back from challenges. His street artworks signal forgotten places and inspire dialogue, such as Cinema Marconi or Capitol Summer Theatre interventions.
