"The Smallest Show on Earth"

Overview

The video opens with the entrance of the artist as Queen of the Fleas, wearing the silvery costume and goggles of her Professor Cardoso persona. As ringmaster, Cardoso puts the fleas through their paces. Flea dancers appear first, followed by acrobats. Weight lifters, tango dancers, and tightrope artists appear in quick succession. We see a dramatic sword fight in silhouette, gasp as the Strongest Flea on Earth lifts a toy locomotive, and agonize as Sir Fleamund Hillary scales Mount Everest. The show concludes with a ceremonial feeding of the fleas as the credits roll. (Description from The New Museum)
