—Thee
999 EYES vaudevillian freakshow is the last genuine
traveling freakshow in the United States - or the first in over
40 years to feature more than three LIVING HUMAN ODDITIES
such as the human Tripod , the 27 inch small Woman, lobster girl, T-REX, the Black Scorpion
(our very own lobster boy). The 999 EYES
authentic human oddities freakshow tours an authentic oddities museum,
Lowrent the clown, and a dark carnival jug band
-That Damned Band.

—The
999 EYES authentic human oddities freakshow explicitly
celebrates real genetic diversity by showcasing
amazing feats performed by LIVING HUMAN ODDITIES! The freaks share
real stories of what it is like to be born truly different from
the average 10-fingered and 10-toed genetic blueprint for humanity
– giving folks from all corners a chance to realize that what
is different in beautiful. We present as guests Human Marvels
and Sideshow artists, such as Katzen the
Tiger Lady and Great Gozleone the Sword
Swallower for their wondrous sideshow skills. In the 999
EYES show, one must be born physically and obviously different
from the vast majority of humanity to be considered a true
freak. Freaks are performers who choose
by their own free will to celebrate their medical anomaly on stage.
The 999 EYES supports rights for differently-abled people,
and we play only in wheelchair accessible venues.
—By
acknowledging carnival sideshow history the 999 EYES
empowers communities with alluring, inventive, and fearless displays
of imagination and dream! The 999 EYES show not
only provides a place for roving gypsy carnival performers and “human
curiosities” to express their art but also provides
an environment which revives and highlights the great performers
and freaks of the past – and their true life
stories! Using olde-tyme music, vaudevillian skits, story telling
as well as classic carnival sideshow acts and performance, a world
is created that taps into profound emotion, reminding the AUDIENCE
of the actualization of the living dream. The 999 EYES
brings the AUDIENCE into a world where the strange and bizarre
are beautiful. At the same time, this gives the “human
curiosities” of the modern age a venue to be truly
appreciated once again - celebrating real genetic diversity.
—Lost
in time, hidden in the dark corners and in the dusty shelves of
old book stores, in the basements of libraries and museums, lies
the fabulous, fantastical history of the carnival sideshow - a time
when the differently formed were glamorized as
part of a traveling caravan and not locked up in institutions. A
time when there was a place and venue for amazing performers to
come together in a gypsy caravan style and change the atmosphere
of the town around them - reminding people there is another way
of life and relieving people of their daily routines - reminding
them of the power of magic and imagination. The roots of radical
artistic movements of today are deeply intertwined with
the carnival sideshows of the past…
—The
999 EYES is a collaborative carnival art troupe
is co-created with many fabulous individuals - LIVING HUMAN
ODDITIES, musicians, magicians, sideshow artists, clowns,
writers, experts - each of which works on the troupe’s routines,
props, banners, and costumes together. Each show is co-created,
with input from the freaks as well as everyone else. 999
EYES tours selectively, sometimes displaying the 999
EYES Museum ov Mutantstrosities, an authentic
American Dime Museum, complete with Patches the
two-headed cow, pickled punks, oddities
from around the world, and displays that tell the history
of the freak show.
—The
999 EYES show is suitable for all ages and contains
no blatant vulgarity or explicit sexual content.
It is available to all ages, recreating the world
one freakshow at a time – awakening the collective subconscious
to a world where the strange and bizarre are beautiful.
