This Listening Party was hosted and broadcast live prior to Kid Koala's presentation of his live multimedia graphic novel, The Storyville Mosquito, November 25-27, 2022 at SFJAZZ. The story, which comes to life right before the audience's eyes, combines live puppeteering on over a dozen miniature sets and projected on video screens in real time, backed by an ensemble of strings, piano, and electronic instruments. Kid Koala will discuss his inspirations behind The Storyville Mosquito, and teases out a couple more upcoming projects, before a live Q&A with the audience.
