    ♪ Live puppetry ♫ Miniature sets ♪ Cinematography ♫ Live music
    Outstanding Touring Production at Dora Awards 2023

    The Storyville Mosquito is a live multi-media film production that is performed, filmed and scored in real time. A team of 14 performers, musicians, foley artists and technicians cinematically bring the characters to life using 75 puppets 20 miniature sets, 8 cameras, and a screen onstage.

    A mosquito moves to the big city to pursue his dream of playing at the legendary music hall... What awaits him? The performance is filmed in one continuous take, accompanied by an original music soundtrack featuring a string trio and the multi-talented Canadian DJ Kid Koala on turntables, keyboards and electronics. Each performance is uniquely tailored, providing audience a one of a kind theatre experience of watching both a live film on the screen and the "making of" on stage without a pause.
