Ingrid Hansen puppeteers on television for Sesame and The Jim Henson Company (Fraggle Rock.) Raised by gregarious Danish immigrants, she now lives on the land of the W̱SÁNEĆ people, and has toured Canada, the USA, and Japan. Westcoast company SNAFU creates challenging, meaningful, off-the-wall spectacles that share space, celebrate all bodies, and cultivate delight. SNAFU’s work has been presented by The National Arts Centre, GCTC, Centaur, SummerWorks, Intrepid Theatre, The Port Theatre, and many more. Epidermis Circus is co-created and directed by Ride the Cyclone director Britt Small, with costumes by JIMBO the Drag Clown (Winner RuPaul’s Drag Race.)
Epidermis Circus
THE WEIRDEST PUPPET SHOW YOU'VE EVER SEEN. 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 adult puppetry cabaret is hosted by a sassy scene-stealing grandma and features mind-bending illusions, creating life in the inanimate.
