Cockadoodledoo at Kumu Kahua Theatre

In a small rural town where “nothing interesting happens,” a chunk of meteor lands in farmer Templeton’s chicken coop and changes everything – including the chickens. His friend Ziggy, to whom he sells a souvenir chunk, undergoes a bizarre transformation and is quarantined by the Feds. But this is only part of Yokomori’s surrealistic tale, which echoes Beckett’s Waiting for Godot and Ionesco’s Rhinoceros, and introduces a host of odd characters including an evil ventriloquist, a masochistic postman, a mercenary wannabe and then some.
