Variety Series: Epidermis Circus – The weirdest puppet show you’ve ever seen

Performed by Fraggle Rock Puppeteer Ingrid Hansen
Co-Created and Directed by Ride the Cyclone director Britt Small
Costume by JIMBO the Drag Clown (Winner RuPaul’s Drag Race)

Watch a Jim Henson Company puppeteer make a live puppet film before your very eyes, using only household objects, a camera, and her bare hands. Ingrid Hansen animates cheeky vignettes in the palm of her hand and projects them onto a huge screen. This spicy puppetry cabaret features mind-bending illusions. Get your comedy fix and stretch your brain into surreal worlds.

 

“Utterly magical, insanely inventive, wickedly funny, and beautifully twisted. Imagine Lambchops Puppeteer Shari Lewis’s soul possessed by David Lynch. With dark, deadpan humour, Hansen employs video projection to provocative, cinematic effect. ★★★★★ ”
