Epidermis Circus

Using only hands, everyday objects, cameras and mirrors, the puppeteer creates a miniature world alive with comical characters: a mischievous baby, an endearing shark, a clementine doing a striptease. This sophisticated puppet cabaret offers a healthy dose of comedy and breathtaking illusions that will transport your mind to surreal worlds!

Kvinna i mörk kroppsnära dräkt står vid bord med kamera och lampor, hanterar en docka framför projicerad bild.

Kvinna i svart huvudbonad ligger med ansiktet mot ett bord och håller en blå leksaksbil i munnen.

Dockliknande figur med bebisansikte, mänskliga ben och vita skridskor, svävar mot mörk bakgrund.

This performance is a part of Marionetteaterns international festival Pop Up Puppets at Kulturhuset Stadsteater in Stockholm the 20-23 of August 2026.

About the performance

The Canadian puppeteer Ingrid Hansen, an internationally acclaimed puppeteer known for her work with Fraggle Rock, the Jim Henson Company and Sesame Workshop. On stage, her fingers instantly become characters: a mischievous baby, an endearing shark, a clementine performing an unexpected striptease. With the help of live cameras, these intimate scenes are projected onto a giant screen, allowing the audience to witness both the craft and the illusion simultaneously.
