Epidermis Circus

Epidermis Circus is a racy puppet cabaret in which a grandmother of great character tirelessly tries to steal the spotlight from everyone. It is performed by Ingrid Hansen at La Sala d'Argentona, in Argentona.

This is a variety show with puppets and a racy tone, staged as a cabaret. A irreverent grandmother hosts the performance and is determined to grab the audience's attention, amid numbers of outrageous and absurd humour.

Ingrid Hansen performs the show and brings the puppets to life on stage. Hansen has also worked the puppets for the series Fraggle Rock, by the Jim Henson Company. During the performance she makes a live puppet film in full view of the audience: she animates racy and seductive sketches on the palm of her hand and projects them onto a giant screen.

The humour is aimed at adults and the language is coarse. Much of the show runs without words, and the rest is split between English and French. La Sala d'Argentona hosts this programme of shows in the town.
