Hear yea! Hear yea! Welcome to our circus of modern mankind! Behold the amazing acts of our performers! Shivers down your spine… Does it all look a bit familiar?

Aha! that might be the case indeed! Are you also rushing trough your life? Trying to do as many things as you can in your day? Is it almost a second nature to you to let your life pass you by without actually living it yourself? Watch, study and learn from our spectacular acts at The Great Carnival!
The Great Carnival is the graduation project of Eric van Den Boom. He graduated at the school of arts with a bachelors degree in Illustrative design. The concept of his project is the culture of haste. These days our culture teaches us that faster is better. But in the race to keep up, we all suffer the consequences.

Eric invented an imaginary carnival to make us aware of how this generation perceives and manages its time.

Beware of the great boss of our circus! His clocks always ticking, his eyes ever watching. The master of time rules our lives. He will creep into your mind like a shadow, chasing you every step, making sure you will get your things done in time!

 
A breathtaking act of sheer courage and balance! Walking on a tightrope with a full agenda, juggling her occupations, trying to hold them up high. Will she be able to carry it all or will she fall into the darkness?
 
Excitement! Very little time, and a very small space. But our acrobats are very loose-limbed and bendy. They should be of course because they have to get into this train before it leaves. Will they be able to pull it off?

Come on and join the carousel of the bizarre! Too much traffic, not enough roads and off course you don’t have that much time to spend, but try to enjoy the ride, for you will be there for a long time…

 
We are proud to present the new Houdini! Completely chained in mass communication the escape artist is struggling for his very life! You will be sitting on the edge of your seat. Will he be able to get out?
 
As a first reflection you almost shut your eyes, do you dare to watch our ultimate freak show? Wanting to get all the jobs done he had to do during his workday, our multitasker has evolved to a supreme being.
