Preview of Epidermis Circus March 20 - 24

Press release

New York, NY – SoHo Playhouse presents the U.S. premiere of Epidermis Circus, co-created and performed by Ingrid Hansen (Puppeteer for Jim Henson Company’s Fraggle Rock and Sesame Workshop’s Helpsters), co-created and directed by Britt Small (Premiere director of the Gen-Z cult-hit musical Ride the Cyclone), with costumes by JIMBO The Drag Clown (WINNER of RuPaul’s Drag Race) and produced by SNAFU Society of Unexpected Spectacles.

Danish-Canadian puppeteer Ingrid Hansen brings her award-winning spicy adult puppetry show, Epidermis Circus, to Off-Broadway. Hot off a tour to the most prestigious puppet festival in Montreal, along with dates in Toronto and Mississauga, Epidermis Circus has entertained sold-out crowds across Canada where critics called the show, “Hilarious, absurd and profoundly human, ★★★★★” (Star Phoenix News), and “Utterly magical, insanely inventive, wickedly funny, beautifully twisted, ★★★★★” (Winnipeg Free Press). Hansen is “A GENIUS of physical comedy,” raved Entertainment World.

In Epidermis Circus, watch a Jim Henson Company puppeteer make a live puppet film before your very eyes, using only household objects, a camera, and her bare hands. Ingrid Hansen animates cheeky vignettes in the palm of her hand and projects them onto a huge screen. This spicy puppetry cabaret features mind-bending illusions. Get your comedy fix and stretch your brain into surreal worlds.

Epidermis Circus runs Off-Broadway March 20 - 24, 2024 in a limited engagement at SoHo Playhouse, located at 15 Vandam Street in New York City. Opening night is March 20.

Two kid-friendly shows take place on Saturday, March 23 at 2pm and Sunday, March 24 at 2pm.
