Portland Ovations Presents Imago Theatre ZooZoo 3/26

Portland Ovations presents Imago Theatre: ZooZoo on Friday, April 1st at Merrill Auditorium at a special family-friendly time of 7:00 p.m.

This truly unique spectacle combines Mummenschanz-style puppetry with Cirque-like acrobatics that fill the stage with wit, wonder and mesmerizing Felliniesque mayhem.

Imago Theatre is internationally acclaimed for its special brand of vaudeville, comedy, acrobatics, and illusions. ZooZoo is fun for all ages with a cast including introverted frogs, tricky penguins, hungry anteaters, bug eyes, cantankerous polar bears, and more. ZooZoo combines mime, dance, music, and special effects into a wordless production hailed by critics and audiences world-wide.

Founded in 1979 by Carol Triffle and Jerry Mouawad, Imago Theatre's original productions have toured internationally for over two decades. Imago Theatre draws inspiration from the teachings of Jazques Lecoq, who was renowned for his physical theatre, movement and mime methodology.

Imago's ensemble is made up of actors, dancers, designers, fabricators, and musicians who work out of Portland, Oregon, to create innovative works that are highly entertaining for all ages.

On April 1st at 6:00 pm, immediately preceding the Imago Theatre performance, performance artist/educator Davis Robinson from Bowdoin College presents a lecture discussing the Maine connection to mime, mask, and physical theatre.
