Call of the Loon Bird
Clydebuilt Puppet Theatre performed Call of the Loon Bird at the Harlequin Theatre in Northwich on Friday 27 August.
A truly magical story, ‘Call of the Loon Bird’ follows the life of one man. In his youth he rescues a ‘Loon’, a bird of great wisdom, who later helps him on his own journey through life. Through early adversity, illness and later success as a shaman (storyteller and wiseman), he comes to realise and rely on the ‘Call of the Loon’ to help him and his people. A story of wisdom over intolerance, this show explores the stories and culture of the Native Americans.

DRAGONS
The Fire Lesson
Now take a deep breath in and don't let it out
until you feel something burning at the back of your throat.
Now c-a-r-e-f-u-l-l-y into thin air, not the shed!
Blow out your boiling lava, his anxious mother said.
Ah good, you're getting better; keep trying until the fire is big,
Oh look, try and burn that little earwig.
Right, you're all set for tomorrow's lesson,
cooking burgers will be our next session.
My Dragon
My dragon crawls around my wrist and hides its head in manner,
sometimes it crawls up to my ear and tells me about his nanna.
Jewellery Dragon
slither slide, my dragon's alive:
I like pretty pinks and blues, my favourite part of the body is the wrist, on you.
I hide my head so fine, so i look like jewellery, twiddle, twine.
Advert for Diamond Dragon
come buy the diamond dragon,
heavier than a wagon,
needs a loving home,(as i can't look after it any more)
its back shaped like a dome.
Covered in diamonds, this dragon's called Simon.
ANGELS AND DEMONS
Joyful Demon
I am a joyful Demon, quite weird about my feeling.
I live in the attic at terraced house, and i like (devils food chocolate cake shhhhhhhhhh)
I hate KFC beans (as they make me very gassy)
Twinkle soup and sparkle potion is my favourite meal (quite sassy)
I remember happier times before i was thrown out of heaven and i hope it will all stay good, i like to say '' i want to eat you for dinner!'''
DO YOU THINK I SHOULD?
