This "travelling exhibition" hasit all: high-energy dance numbers,Seussianrhymes, a bearded lady, a sing-along and an accordion. BuddiesJanisand Jujube are cheerful visitors from another world, on a quest to save one boy from peril. As they romp through multiple dimensions, they celebrate the odd and ponder the challenges of being yourself in the digital age.

WinnipeggersChristyTaronnoand SydneyHaydukare thoroughly entertaining as they sing, dance and goof their way through space andtime. The portrayal ofYouTube-obsessedDaniel will make you laugh and maybe break your heart.

BizarroObscureis silly and other-worldly but not fluffy. Beneaththe beard andthe goofy glasses are human vulnerability and joy. Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, you won't be disappointed.
