Blending cinema and theatre into an unforgettable live spectacle

At the heart of the show is an unlikely hero: a jazz-loving mosquito with big-city dreams. But beyond the sweet story lies the real work — on stage, 14 performers operate 75 handcrafted puppets that move through 20 miniature sets, where eight live cameras capture every detail as it happens. The result is a unique, captivating and insightful film that’s shot, edited and projected onto a big screen in real time, where nothing is pre-recorded.

Plus, with original live score performed by a string trio alongside the talented DJ, P-Love, The Storyville Mosquito is guaranteed to provide you with a stellar sensory experience that feels intimate, cinematic and avant-garde.

What makes The Storyville Mosquito truly magical is its transparency. Audiences don’t just follow the story; they’re invited inside to take a peek at the experience of the creative process itself, watching every shot come to life in real time. For audiences of all ages, it’s a love letter to hands-on artistry in an increasingly digital and AI-driven world — and a poignant reminder of why the arts still matter.

A must-see for film lovers and fans of boundary-pushing creativity, the show sits within LCSD’s ‘Cheers!’ Series, bringing joyful, inventive performances from across the world to Hong Kong.
