Synopsis
Poor little cuckoo bird, between his hourly cuckoo duties, singing lessons, and chores, there’s no time left for fun and play. But one day, a mischievous intruder creates chaos and Cuckoo chases after it and discovers a magical world beyond time. Can Cuckoo find a way home and fix the clock?

This utterly unique performance takes place on the intricate exterior and interior of an oversized clock created by puppeteer Graham Soul. Puppetry and animated video makes this a family show not to be missed!

“Manipulating all these puppets inside the narrow puppet stage, Eloi Cousineau and Graham Soul give the impression of having 10 hands.” - Theatre Quebec

"We wish to honour the Anishinaabe, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Wendat, and the Neutral Nation who are the traditional custodians of the land upon which we stand and the waters that flow through it. It is our privilege to share this land, which has been the site of imagination since the beginning of human experience.  

 

Hermione Presents ~ SpringWorks is located on land governed by both the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant of 1701 and the Huron Tract Treaty of 1827. We are mindful of broken covenants and the need for us to respectfully listen, to learn from our mutual history and to strive continuously for reconciliation at all levels. 

 

The responsibility to nurture this land and protect the future falls to us all and in so doing, we actively honour the wisdom of those who came before us."
