Epidermis Circus

Epidermis Circus: The Weirdest Puppet Show You’ve Ever Seen.
By SNAFU

“Hansen turns anything and everything into a puppet and makes it funny.” “BEAUTIFULLY TWISTED.” ★★★★★

Directed by Britt Small (premiere director of Ride the Cyclone,) with costumes by JIMBO (winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race,) performed by Ingrid Hansen (puppeteer for The Jim Henson Company’s Fraggle Rock and Sesame.)

Prepare yourself to laugh until you fart, have your brain melted, and leave the theater seeing faces in every inanimate object you encounter. A spicy puppet cabaret, hosted by a sassy grandma who keeps trying to steal the show. This beautifully twisted variety show is performed by Ingrid Hansen, who also puppeteers for Jim Henson Company’s Fraggle Rock. Watch behind-the-scenes as Hansen performs a live puppet film, animating cheeky vignettes in the palm of her hand and projecting them onto a huge screen. “Both live and magnified onscreen, in cunningly angled cameras and mirrors, we see Hansen create characters from her own hands, fingers, tongue, in a saucy and jostling vaudeville of ‘stars’. NUTTY, INGENIOUS, MESMERIZING.” - 12th Night. Spicy, FOR AGES 14+.
