Event Description

Interstellar Elder is a dark physical comedy about renegade grandma in outer space. The show is created by multi-award-winning company SNAFU, whose show Little Orange Man sold-out nearly all their performances at last year’s fringe festival. SNAFU’s newest show Interstellar Elder performs live at the Victoria International Fringe Festival with shows August 30 to Sept 3, 2017 at The Metro Studio.

In this show’s futuristic scenario, North American Prime Minister Justin Bieber attempts to end world hunger by deforesting the continent to plant thousands of acres of genetically-modified swiss chard. This Superfood grows awry, taking over the entire planet and choking out all other forms of life. The last surviving humans are cryogenically frozen and shot into earth orbit, waiting for Earth to heal so that they may return home and begin a new civilization. On board the spaceship there is only one person left awake: the geriatric custodian and sole caretaker of the ship’s frozen ‘human cargo.’

Interstellar Elder’s creator Ingrid Hansen is a multi-award-winning actor and puppeteer who has been touring across Canada, the US, and Japan for the past seven years. On television she is the voice and puppeteer of Gertie the Gopher on Tiga Talk on APTN, and plays a moon monster in the series Princess Sparkly Butt and the Hot Dog Kid. Hansen recently received a special invitation to train with Sesame Street puppeteers in New York, where she got to “hang out with Cookie Monster.” Interstellar Elder, however, is a dark comedy not suitable for children under twelve. SNAFU are Victoria hometown favourites, and tickets for Interstellar Elder are expected to sell out fast, so snap up your tickets in advance or you might get left stranded on earth.



“You will inevitably ROAR WITH LAUGHTER, but what you might not see coming is the immense heart and powerful imagery behind the performance. Ingrid hits another home run with this brilliant piece of
physical theatre. The use of the audience and the way this play is set will forever change
the way you see theatre and its possibilities.” - Montreal Theater Hub

“An amazingly versatile physical comedian with a knack for bringing inanimate objects to life. She’s also come up with what may well be the BEST ENDING IN THE HISTORY OF THE FRINGE.” - The Montreal Gazette
“She’s the sort of girl that director Terry Gilliam might have dreamed up.” - Calgary Herald
