Epidermis Circus

Epidermis Circus is a spicy puppet cabaret, hosted by a sassy grandma who keeps trying to steal the show. This is one of the most surprising shows, masterfully performed by puppeteer Ingrid Hansen (Fraggle Rock, Sesame Workshop.) When her fingers move, they instantly come to life. She needs nothing more than a little inspiration to invent comical characters: a mischievous baby, an endearing shark, a clementine doing a striptease… With the help of cameras and mirrors, her enchanting, inventive, and unbridled little world is projected onto a giant screen. A surreal, funny, and breathtaking universe.

“Imagine Shari Lewis’s soul got possessed by David Lynch. Delicious dark deadpan humour, provocative cinematic effect, apocalyptic imagery, the occasional erotic frisson. ★★★★★” – Winnipeg Free Press.
