EPIDERMIS CIRCUS
LIVE AT THE DRIVE-IN
IN VANCOUVER JUNE 25 & 26, 2021
Co-Created & Performed by Ingrid Hansen
Co-Created & Directed by Britt Small
Performed live, DRIVE-IN STYLE to an audience snug in their cars in the parking lot at 685 Great Northern Way Blvd, Vancouver. Epidermis Circus is the new frontier in body puppetry and bawdy animation. Celebrate what is beautiful, gooey, powerful and ridiculous about the fragile meatbag of the human form. Hilarious and surreal, we magnify tiny puppetry onto a huge screen. Ingrid also puppeteers for Sesame, TreehouseTV, and APTN. This show is not for children, unless they have cool parents.
