Aga-Boom
Not Just for Kids SUNDAY, MAY 3, 2009 AT 3:00 PM AND 7:00 PM Main Stage - $12 Sponsored by Bank of America The Aga-Boom clowns draw on the tradition of Russian clowning and bring unbridled silliness and laughter to the stage! Aga-Boom quite magically blends the very best elements of circus, slapstick comedy and experimental theater into a hugely entertaining show that can be thought of as a Russian version of the Blue Man Group. Aga-Boom is masterminded and directed by Dimitri Bogatirev and his wife, Irina Ivanytska, both veterans of Cirque du Soleil. “The kids in the audience were on cloud nine, but hardly more so than the adults.” - Los Angeles Times
