Koyaa - The Extraordinary

The Great Lisbon Earthquake of 1755 is narrated with brief allusions. Inspired by a mural on historic ceramic tiles, a poetic metaphor is developed about decline and rebirth and accompanied by appropriate guitar music.

While Mr Raven is crafting a cardboard birdhouse, Koyaa is preparing to paint. As he grabs his brush, the canvass starts folding all by itself, turns into a paper airplane, and flies off. Koyaa will need a special plan to outsmart the tricky paper sheet.

Koyaa is painting a wooden chair. He notices he got some of the blue paint on the trashcan, too. He tries wiping the stain but that just smears it around, so he decides to paint the whole can blue instead. The can resists, rolling off on its little wheels, racing and chomping, as it goes, on the newspaper Mr Raven was using to build his birdhouse. Koyaa needs a clever way to catch it!
