Ms Bual, artistic director of Trigger, said she was inspired by the myths of dragons in multiple ancient cultures.
"We're thrilled to be bringing The Hatchling, which has been six years in the making, to life.
"It will be the first human-powered puppet, you won't have a crane, there'll be no mechanics, it'll be completely fluid."

Ms Bual said when the dragon takes flight on Sunday it would "rise up to a beautiful musical score that has been created in collaboration with Plymouth-based choirs and she will set sail with the help of a boat and the Royal Navy and she will go out into the sunset out of sight".
Organisers said the puppet, which was designed in collaboration with a paleontologist, will be the largest ever flying creature, surpassing the size of the prehistoric pterosaur on which it was based.
