David Griggs commissioned a team of traditionally trained movie-billboard painters in Manila to create this work under his direction. The boldly painted circus-style tent includes imagery from the theatre of life in the Philippines, including street personalities, images from religious rituals, and portraits of political and military figures. A video the artist filmed in Manila is screened inside the tent. Griggs explained his inspiration for the work in an encounter with an actual circus, stating:

In the provinces in the Philippines you get a variety of fun fairs, carnivals, circuses, and freak shows. I met a 21-year-old man who was a sideshow act at one of the carnivals. His name was Frog Boy. He had a birth deformity where the bones in his legs were flat like paper, giving his lower body a bent and strange position . . . The advertisement suggested that he was half-man and half-frog. It also explained that he would play basketball, dance, read palms and sing karaoke . . .

I imagined what it would be like if Frog Boy had his own tent, his own audience and a way to eliminate the exploitation he was dealing with . . . I came across an old man who lives in one of the slum areas in Manila. He told me that the people here do not need more money, they need more faith. The video performance is myself, being a foreign white middle-class male, bringing faith in the form of sculpture to the people. This is as useful as Frog Boy singing karaoke, or maybe it is the only thing we have: music and faith.
