Tenacious D, the Greatest Band in the World, is excited to reveal details about this year’s newest addition to Festival Supreme, the Circus of Death. The dark and humorous circus will include a spooky train ride that commutes passengers through artist-made fantastical worlds like The Iceberg of Torment, Monster Windmill and Marionette Castle. The circus will also feature a handmade monster merry-go-round, creepy puppet shows, large-scale video projections, sculptures and freak-show characters. A stage in the round, lead by ringmaster Donald Stroud, will feature performances by Ron Lynch, the Haden Triplets, the Spirit Girls, and Jim Shaw. The collaborative art and sound installation is a collective project spearheaded by Steven Hull and features work from visual artists Jim Shaw, Tami Demaree, Marnie Weber, John Tottenham, Gibby Haynes, Marcos Rosales, Allison Schulnik, and April Totten.
“F*!k a haunted house...we got a haunted circus! Hold your loved ones close as you take a ride through the twisted mind of Steven Hull. This thing is going to be bad-ass!” said mastermind Jack Black.
