Tempest Theatre is delighted to be bringing a unique treat to the stage this January. Epidermis Circus: The Weirdest Puppet Show You’ve Ever Seen.

A spicy puppet cabaret, hosted by a sassy grandma who keeps trying to steal the show. This beautifully twisted variety show is performed by Ingrid Hansen, who also puppeteers for Jim Henson Company’s Fraggle Rock. Watch behind-the-scenes as Hansen performs a live puppet film, animating cheeky vignettes in the palm of her hand and projecting them onto a huge screen. “Both live and magnified on screen, in cunningly angled cameras and mirrors, we see Hansen create characters from her own hands, fingers, tongue, in a saucy and jostling vaudeville of ‘stars’. NUTTY, INGENIOUS, MESMERIZING.” - 12th Night. Costumes by JIMBO (winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race.) Produced by SNAFU. SPICY, FOR AGES 14+.

Epidermis Circus was created with support from the Capital Regional District Arts Council and the Canada Council for the Arts, and tours with the support of the BC Arts Council. Early development of Epidermis Circus was also supported by the National Arts Centre's initiative, and the OAC’s Theatre Creators Reserve as recommended by the Puppetmongers.

My name is Anne, and this is my project Theatre Near Me. As someone heavily involved in local theatre, I find the biggest struggle is connecting with people and letting them know what amazing art is happening in our own town. I gave my idea a test run this October at The Penti-Con, and was blown away by the positive reaction. So I'm carrying on with my goal to create a gathering point of all information on local theatre, be it classes, auditions, workshops or shows. Thanks for following along, let's enjoy theatre together!
