Imago Theatre’s Zoo Zoo, Jan 18. This is a critically acclaimed mix of dance, design, circus, music, text and illusion. The whimsical theater performance is described as Cirque Du Soleil–evoking acrobatics mixed with Mummenschanz-like mime, set in a French-influenced avant-garde playground. Imagine all of that with penguins playing musical chairs, a cat trapped in a giant paper bag, hippos with insomnia, anteaters as waiters and a madcap revue of illusion.
