Epidermis Circus

Ingrid Hansen, a puppet artist from the Jim Henson Company (Fraggle Rock, Sesame Workshop), stages a surreal cabaret of illusions and absurd comedy. The variety show is led by Florence, a mischievous grandmother figure, and mixes bold cinematic video, close‑ups of everyday objects projected large, puppetry and daring sleights to create impertinent, often erotic vignettes. The piece juxtaposes tactile puppet performance with live filmic effects to produce surprising, humorous and uncanny moments.

Created by the company Alliance Créative, COMME UN LUNDI is a fully improvised theatre piece that probes the textures of modern work life. The five performers — Nina Cachelin, Deborah Chirenti, Malik Kaufmann, Adrien Laplana and Eric Lecoultre — conjure shifting office micro-worlds, from awkward ambition to quiet complicity. Through rapid character shifts, minimalist staging and elastic rhythm, the troupe maps rivalries, unspoken desires and the absurdity of ‘bullshit jobs’, producing moments both comic and quietly unsettling.
