The Wünderbriefs are short mask or puppet interactions flexible enough to pop up in corners, hallways, sidewalks, lobbies and basements. These are not just mini shows; they’re spectacles, marvels, the very essence of animated mystery. These little ideas are meant to be brief, repeatable or that can wander around and immerse into an environment. They can audience interactions ranging from: one on one, small groups or admired at a distance. Each project will be supported by the Canadian Academy of Mask and Puppetry and presented during the 2027 Festival of Animated Objects.
