Sonata of the Hunt: A Ritual of Whimsy
Presto
Before the annual performance of the hunt commences, eggs must be manifested through a vigil of grief and elbow barging – some eggs must be unobtainable and others must sob softly whilst trying to remain composed.
Forte
Those preparing to stalk will be issued a basket, a hand grabber and an undeniable urge to break into choreographed stage fighting, the eggs will gallantly attempt to dance, but will freeze if an adult looks on.
Crescendo
If two hunters reach for the same egg a rap battle must commence and if the egg cannot decide who is the winner it will crack and issue a prophecy through the medium of mime.
Scherzo
At random intervals a half rabbit half duck will materialise and slightly mock the proceedings with startled quacking.
Diminuendo
The hunt ends when either Jesus returns as a piñata, and children beat him with wooden spoons and lilac skittles rain from the heavens or Ostara appears demanding that her festival, though never stolen, is returned.
