Cuckoo
“Cuckoo” is a wordless show that features rod puppets, a giant creature with long furry ears, an enormous clock as the puppet stage, and includes music, sound effects, and video projection. Life inside a cuckoo clock is strictly managed by its inhabitants who have endless daily chores to keep the clock running properly. Young Cuckoo, who would love to play baseball or relax, is rather bored. However, when an unusual critter appears and wreaks havoc in the clock, Cuckoo chases after it and discovers a magical world beyond time!
