Epirdermis Circus - The Weirdest Puppet Show You’ve Ever Seen

Short & sweet

A spicy puppet cabaret, hosted by a sassy grandma who keeps trying to steal the show. This beautifully twisted variety show lets you watch behind-the-scenes as a live puppet show is performed - with no traditional puppets.


Still curious?

Cheeky vignettes are animated in the palm of a puppeteer’s hand and projected onto a huge screen. Both live and magnified on screen, in cunningly angled cameras and mirrors, we see characters created from their own hands, fingers, tongue, in a saucy and jostling vaudeville of ‘stars’.

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.
