Birthday Cat is an independent production house based in NYC. Founded by writer Anton Cebalo and production ops manager Errol Slim in March, 2025.

We work with directors, writers, playwrights, and any artists who have an eye for novelty. We like dramatic storytelling about lives not commonly experienced. The strange and the unsettling. Art that's current, experimentally adrift. Something fitting for the 2020s.

УДИВИТЕЛЬНАЯ КОШКА

AN AMAZING CAT

Несчастная кошка порезала лапу

A poor cat has cut her paw

Сидит, и ни шагу не может ступить.

She sits there, unable to take a single step.

Скорей, чтобы вылечить кошкину лапу

Quickly, to heal the cat's paw,

Воздушные шарики надо купить!

We must buy some balloons!

И сразу столпился народ на дороге

And at once, a crowd gathers on the road

Шумит, и кричит, и на кошку глядит.

Making noise, shouting, and gazing at the cat.

А кошка отчасти идет по дороге,

And the cat moves along the road

Отчасти по воздуху плавно летит!

Partly walking, partly floating through the air!

— Daniil Kharms (1938)
