| SNAFU Theatre Produced by SNAFU for Age 14+ Performed by Fraggle Rock Puppeteer Ingrid Hansen Co-Created & Directed by Ride the Cyclone director Britt Small Costume by JIMBO the Drag Clown (Winner RuPaul’s Drag Race)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. Tiny stories emerge that celebrate the hilarious impossibility of being alive and having a body: these fragile bags of meat and bone, carry us from place to place and allow us to laugh and snort and feel. SNAFU’s work has been compared to Wes Anderson and David Lynch, yet “hilarious, absurd and profoundly human, (the Star Phoenix Newspaper.) Epidermis Circus was created with support from the Capital Regional District Arts Council and the Canada Council for the Arts. Early development of Epidermis Circus was also supported by the National Arts Centre’s #CanadaPerforms initiative, and the OAC’s Theatre Creators Reserve as recommended by the Puppetmongers. This show is performed with ASL. The Interpreter will be positioned stage centre/left (house left).
