Get ready to see the everyday world in a new way when Baby Tyler comes to the Chilliwack Cultural Centre on September 13. This delightfully strange and hilarious family friendly puppet performance invites you into a miniature world where anything can become a character and where even the smallest creature can have fantastic adventures.
Created and performed by seasoned puppeteer Ingrid Hansen, known for her work with the Jim Henson Company and Sesame Workshop, Baby Tyler is a playful exploration of imagination and the unexpected. Using only her bare hands, everyday objects, miniature environments, modeling clay, and a video camera, Hansen transforms simple materials into an entire cast of quirky characters and surreal situations.

At the center of it call is Baby Tyler, a mischievous little creature standing just 25 centimetres tall. Living in a world designed for grown-ups, Baby Tyler encounters a series of obstacles throughout his daily life. With plenty of curiosity and determination, this tiny hero finds creative ways to overcome whatever gets in his way.
What makes Baby Tyler truly unique is the way the story unfolds live on stage. Hansen creates the action right before your eyes, while video camera magnifies these tiny worlds onto a huge screen. The result is part puppet theatre and part live filmmaking. With Hansen’s legendary sense of surprise and knack for turning ordinary objects into extraordinary puppets, Baby Tyler promises a hysterical journey that will have you laughing, wondering, and looking at your own hands a little differently.
Perfect for families and anyone who enjoys a healthy dose of imagination and absurdity, Baby Tyler is a reminder that you don’t need a giant world to have a giant adventure.
