Epidermis Circus: The Weirdest Puppet Show You've Ever Seen

Presented by Meridian Theatres @ Centrepointe

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 is also a puppeteer 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. 

Costumes by JIMBO (winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race)

Produced by: SNAFU

“Both live and magnified on screen, 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. 

“Utterly magical, insanely inventive, wickedly funny, BEAUTIFULLY TWISTED, and occasionally erotic! ★★★★★” - Free Press.

“Hansen turns anything and everything into a puppet and makes it funny. A MUST-SEE!” - FringeReviews.com

Warning: Cartoonish sexual content, swear words, puppet suicide. Dark lighting, loud music, and surprises. SPICY, FOR AGES 14+
