Field study №001 · Homo sapiens · Ongoing

Two cats. One believes in humans. One does not.

A field study of your species, conducted without permission.

New cases Monday, Wednesday, Friday · 16:00 CET

Section 01 · The researchers

Who is who

Two researchers. One notebook between them. No funding, no oversight and no intention of stopping.

Sir, a silver-grey tabby in herringbone tweed with an olive waistcoat and burgundy knitted tie. Green is Sir

Feline ethology
Equipment
One leather notebook
On humans
Unconvinced
Voice
British, cool, precise
Costume
Herringbone tweed, olive waistcoat, burgundy tie, leather cuffs. Unchanging.

Sir founded the study and keeps the notes. He has observed your species long enough to expect very little, and is rarely disappointed. He does not raise his voice. He has never needed to.

Recorded statements

  • And yet.
  • Observe.
  • Noted.

Warm, sincere, hopeful

Cap does the fieldwork and draws the conclusions. Every parcel locker, every bowl, every door held open is, to him, evidence of a species that means well. He is wrong most weeks. He is never cynical.

Recorded statements

  • For us.
  • I respect.
  • He knows.

Section 02 · Method

How a case works

  1. 01

    Observation

    Cap sees something and believes the best about it. A wall of provisions. A locker that is surely theirs.

  2. 02

    Interpretation

    Sir consults the notebook and states what is actually happening. It is usually worse.

  3. 03

    Conclusion

    Cap finds one sentence that saves the day. The study continues.

Field

The researchers enter the situation themselves. Cafés, parcel lockers, waiting rooms, laundromats. Two of every three recordings.

Studio

Footage is reviewed on the monitor and judged. The ritual.

Rest

No conflict, no dialogue. Fur, rain, a treat. A pause between disappointments.

Three scenes · twenty-four seconds · no human face, ever
