Constellation Points’ Cloud Man
A Filament Theatre production
Created by Ailie Cohen and Lewis Hetherington
Directed by Alasdair Satchel
Filament Theatre, the play-based theatre company behind FORTS, is back at Writer's Theatre for one weekend with their production of Cloud Man. This special presentation of Scottish company Constellation Points' beloved play for families is floating down to the North Shore before touring to public schools across Chicagoland.
About the Play
Cloudia is a cloud expert and all of her life she has dreamt of seeing a Cloud Man – an extremely rare creature who lives a quiet life high up in the sky. Follow the clues to the very top of Cloud Mountain where the views are always surprising. If you are lucky, you may see something very special indeed.
Sitting on little cloud cushions, the audience watches a cleverly staged show with puppets, storytelling and lots of clouds. The show explores the ways we try and make sense of the world and encourages the audience to notice the beauty and wonder to be found in everyday life.
Designed for ages 4-7, but all ages are welcome.
“Puppet maker Ailie Cohen has been delighting young folk and their grown-ups for many a Fringe with her original stories and fairy-tale adaptations. Cloud Man is no exception, a deceptively simple story that will melt even the flintiest of hearts.” The List
“…a beautifully realised and delicately performed piece of puppetry which entrances the audience and contains a moral message which doesn’t feel forced.” Edinburgh Spotlight
