In an “exploration of unusualness and beauty” (read: mostly unusualness), the weird little sister of circus, this old school sideshow had the audience both laughing and feeling squeamish for almost an hour, with some feats not often seen in modern sideshow.
Watch how a contortionist manipulates his voicebox to pay homage to Tom Waits, and the incredible sword-swallowing acrobatic. We needed a stiff drink (or three) after the show, so be prepared to be amazed, disgusted, incredulous, but unable to look away. Not for the faint of heart, if you like extraordinary feats of the human mind over matter, you might just like it.
