Location: North Shore Center for the Performing Arts in Skokie
Rooted in the unique European theatrical style and universal language of clowning, the Broadway hit Aga-Boom cuts through the barriers of language and culture with the art of slapstick, the humor of physical comedy and the delighted excitement of childhood. Created by veteran of Cirque Du Soleil, Dimitri Bogatirev and featuring former stars of Cirque Du Soleil, Ringling Brothers and the Moscow Circus, Aga-Boom’s 75 minutes of interactive mayhem carries audiences to the other side of the funhouse mirror. Taking its name from a play on boomaga (the Russian word for paper), Aga-Boom begins and ends with scenes about paper, starting with a small piece stuck to someone’s hand and escalating into an huge paper fight. In between is joyful chaos with inflated garbage bags, juggling suitcases, enormous rubber balloons and lots of audience participation. Saturday, Dec. 26, 7 p.m.; Sunday, Dec. 27, 1 & 5 p.m.; Monday, Dec. 28, 3 & 7 p.m.
