Epidermis Circus (Ingrid Hansen’s Spicy Puppet Show)

SNAFU—PTE – Colin Jackson Studio

This is one of those shows that Fringe regulars rave about. This is my first outing and I have no idea what to expect. The black outfit and ominous intro music suggested it would be a dark outing. I’m not sure I would call it “dark” in the theatre sense of the word, but it sure is twisted.

This is the wildest take I’ve seen yet done to The Blue Danube Waltz, and the antics to Carmina Burana are just outrageous. The Bolero comes on and that piece is somewhat warped itself.

All the skits are ludicrous, but they’re meant to be, and they’re also ludicrously funny. I’m sure glad (and so is my partner) that I don’t wear a mustache.
