Day Fourteen
Today we had a little bit of the excitement that makes live theater so fun. Sungura’s ear fell off while he was on stage. I don’t think I’ve mentioned this, but he never leaves the stage once the show starts.
It was actually quite amusing. We-ha comes on stage and we do this whole bit about them falling off a cliff. Which the kids love. Anyway We-ha falls and when I run Sungura over to look for him I notice that his ear is literally hanging by a thread four inches below his head. So when it’s his turn to fall I tap Joe to get him to stall so I can shove the ear back on.
I rejoin the scene but it’s clear that the ear is going to come off again. So– We-ha calls the monster in the house and suggests that Sungura might go hide behind the house. This is really a translation of “I’ll stall while you tape.” Which is exactly what I did.
