Presented by

 

The weirdest puppet show you’ve ever seen!

 

Watch a seasoned television puppeteer make a live puppet film before your very eyes, using only household objects, a camera, and her bare hands. Ingrid Hansen creates cheeky vignettes right in the palm of her hand and projects them onto a huge screen. This cheeky puppet cabaret features mind-bending illusions. Get your comedy fix and give your brain a surrealist twist!

 

Imagine Shari Lewis’s soul got possessed by David Lynch. Delicious dark deadpan humor, provocative cinematic effect, apocalyptic imagery, the occasional erotic frisson. ★★★★★
– Winnipeg Free Press
A genious of physical comedy
– Entertainment World
Hilarious. Her physicality is impeccable. ★★★★★
– Star Phoenix News
An amazingly versatile physical comedian with a knack for bringing inanimate objects to life.
 – Montreal Gazette
I don’t know if I’ve ever laughed so hard.
– The Jenny Revue

 

Language: Bilingual, English and French (few words)
