The Victoria-based performer, co-founder of SNAFU, is back on Vancouver Island with her live puppet extravaganza, Epidermis Circus. Forget strings and sock puppets—this is puppetry on a whole other level.
Ingrid Hansen doesn’t just play with puppets—she reinvents the whole idea.
The show combines miniature sets, puppets, and a live camera feed, all projected onto a big screen as Hansen creates a film in real-time. And then there’s Baby Tyler, a thrift store doll with a crooked gaze and an unexpected charm. “Normally, eye contact is everything in puppetry,” Hansen says, “but for him, the sideways look just works.
Now, local audiences can catch the magic. Epidermis Circus hits Duncan on Nov. 21 and Courtenay on Nov. 22.Nov. 21 at 7:30 p.m.
