The
Enigma is a musician/entertainer who is tattooed from head to toe like
a puzzle, has horns surgically implanted under his skin and – along
with playing music – performs amazing and odd human feats such as: swallowing
a giant crucifix, pumping fluids into his stomach, inserting a power
drill into his nose and more. He has been a member of The Jim Rose Circus
and has appeared on the ‘X Files’. The Enigma, however, is not just
a ‘circus freak’ making a living off of the morbid curiosity of the
masses. He is an intelligent, insightful human being who is testing
the boundaries of identity and social perception through his art and
lifestyle. His music and his act are based on his personal views and
ideologies and are more social commentary than carnival sideshow. This
documentary looks beyond the ‘freak show’ at a person who is a true
non-conformist in a time where individuality is being branded and sold
to the masses as an off-the-shelf consumer product.
