Prepare to see puppetry in a way you've never imagined when Epidermis Circus takes the stage at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre on September 12. This wildly inventive, adults-only performance transforms bare hands and everyday objects into an unforgettable evening of comedy, illusion, and theatrical magic.
Created and performed by acclaimed puppeteer Ingrid Hansen, Epidermis Circus blurs the line between live performance and film. Using only her hands, a camera, and ordinary household objects, Hansen creates a series of hilarious and delightfully absurd puppet vignettes that are projected live onto a giant screen. As her fingers spring to life as unforgettable characters, you will be transported into a surreal world where anything is possible.
Known for her work with The Jim Henson Company and Sesame Workshop, Hansen is a master of visual storytelling whose remarkable talent has captivated audiences around the world. Her unique blend of puppetry, improvisation, and cinematic illusion creates an experience that is as technically astonishing as it is laugh-out-loud funny.
