About the performance

The Canadian puppeteer Ingrid Hansen, an internationally acclaimed puppeteer known for her work with Fraggle Rock, the Jim Henson Company and Sesame Workshop. On stage, her fingers instantly become characters: a mischievous baby, an endearing shark, a clementine performing an unexpected striptease. With the help of live cameras, these intimate scenes are projected onto a giant screen, allowing the audience to witness both the craft and the illusion simultaneously.

Epidermis Circus is a sensual, playful, and intellectually engaging puppet cabaret that explores the hilarious impossibility of having a body. Through a series of surreal and comical vignettes, the performance invites questions about identity, control and the strange relationship we have with our own physical existence.

From age 15. Performed in English, 80 % non verbal.
