Wee Giant Theatre
Wee Giant Theatre

Festival goers love the enormous, whimsical puppets that make an appearance at the Fresh Beats Rhythm Parade and at various events during the Festival weekend. Monika Wildemann, Artistic Director of Wee Giant Theatre, specializes in puppets that energize spaces and create a carnival-like atmosphere. Dedicated to offering creative activities for youth, Wildemann creates puppets, props & costumes (all made from recycled materials) to help people celebrate living in peace and harmony, and show that it’s possible to create beauty without causing destruction.

Moni and her wonderful team have been part of our festival since the beginning, and the Deep Roots Music Festival is always excited to welcome Wee Giant Theatre back each year. Join them (and us) again as the Wee Giants make their majestic way through Wolfville’s downtown core in a colorful, musical, magical procession!
