The Cat God in the Forbidden City, an original song and dance drama co-produced by the China National Theater for Children and the Palace Museum, is slated to premiere in Beijing on Saturday.

Through the perspective of a cat, the play tells a heartwarming story of friendship and companionship, memory and history, as well as life and eternity. It aims to promote the Forbidden City, an embodiment of fine traditional Chinese culture, to audiences all over the world, according to the play's producers.

The drama, adapted from the eponymous children's book by Feng Li, director of China National Theater for Children, follows a kitten called Baby, who out of strong attachment to its human companions in the Forbidden City, travels through hundreds of years by chance to what is now the Palace Museum. The feline reunites with his old friends—cultural relics housed in the museum—and becomes a true guardian of the museum through a flurry of events.
