The story behind the performance.
Whimsy's Quest for an Identity was originally developed after Vancouver Puppet Theatre was asked to create a show about community and the place of an individual within it.
The result is an accessible puppet-theatre piece that can live in a classroom, festival tent, library room, or community hall while still feeling like a proper crafted show.
Visual storytelling that keeps the craft visible.
- Children meet a character who is trying to understand where they fit.
- The story gives educators and programmers a friendly way to talk about community and difference.
- The visual style is playful, but the theme has enough depth for a school or civic audience.
