The Human Flea Circus is a famous sideshow attraction at Carnevale Tenebre.

A typical Human Flea Circus show consists of five acts:

  • Acquisition
  • Taming
  • Training
  • Performance
  • Retirement

According to one survivor of a Midnight Performance show, the Ringmaster opened the performance by announcing:

Ladies and gentleman! For this next act, I am going to need several thousand volunteers from the audience!
