Why is the black tent?
So, I feel like too few people are talking about it and I love myself a good theory, so here's mine:
The purpose of the black tent is to provide our 5 beloved monsters with a human skin. Here the interaction on Day 2 when you visit the black tent for the first time:
Notice 3 things: the black ticket, the people in line assuming that the circus is "hiring", and MC pointing out that all of the people are taller than them. The black ticket is pretty straightforward, it serves the same purpose as the pink and golden ticket: sorting the visitors. The "hiring" aspect makes me think that someone approached them (it may not be even so far-fetched to claim that it was the same person that offered MC the pink ticket), claiming that the circus is "looking for people", and offering them an "interview". The last and most important point is the MC pointing out that everyone was taller than them. You know who else MC pointed out being taller than them? Our 5 beloved freaks.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
