Kid Koala’s The Storyville Mosquito returns to the Montreal International Jazz Festival for another run, June 25–27, 2027!
Back by popular demand, The Storyville Mosquito makes its return to Montreal, continuing its journey on the international stage and its long-standing relationship with the festival.
The Storyville Mosquito is a live animated graphic novel performed, filmed, and scored entirely in real time. Miniature sets, live puppetry, cinematic camera work, and original music come together simultaneously on stage and screen, creating a live film before the audience’s eyes.
This Chaplin-esque story follows a young mosquito who leaves his quiet countryside home to pursue fame and fortune in the big city, dreaming of one day playing in the greatest jazz band of all time at Sid Villa’s Music Hall. Exploring themes of honesty, improvisation, finding one's voice, and collaboration, the production offers a family-friendly theatrical experience that resonates across generations.
