Unfabled Circus

live during immersion in this special atmosphere for at least a few hours. I traveled with several Russian circuses since 2012 and a few months ago I had the opportunity to meet exceptional people from the American circus world and to follow «The Coney Island Freak Shows». The principal character of my project is Eric Broomfield (Jelly Boy The Clown). He guided me to this special world of the American circus where we learn the stories of incredible people who were able to turn their difficulties into a gift and show that their art is stronger than any life circumstances. "Greatest clowns are the quietest. They allow you to look at the absurdity of your humanity and they allow you to laugh at yourself. The clowns remind everybody of their fragility, they remind everybody of their mortality with a laugh." Jelly Boy The Clown is a performer with the unstoppable spirit of a modern sword swallower and sideshow entertainer, who defied all barriers and conquered all obstacles in his miraculous recovery as a burn survivor. Eric Broomfield was trapped in an apartment fire in New York City after which he could return to the stage as a circus sideshow performer. He has traveled all over the world over the past 10 years fusing clowning with the dangerous stunts of the circus sideshow and the science of Tesla.
