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.

  1. Children meet a character who is trying to understand where they fit.
  2. The story gives educators and programmers a friendly way to talk about community and difference.
  3. The visual style is playful, but the theme has enough depth for a school or civic audience.
