What do you get when you mix acrobatics and cabaret theater? The shows by this ensemble from Finland and France, which is making its American debut with this tour, involve choreographed movement, visual imagery and performers in midair (as well as on the ground). The group's latest production, "Espresso," combines traditional and contemporary circus arts with sidewalk performance. If the 75-minute show isn't enough, there will be a pre-performance discussion at 3:15 p.m.
