EIGHT DAYS

If "a kaleidoscopic world imbued with fantastical creatures who tell the story of a young man who takes flight in an adventure both absurd and extraordinary and begins an inspired incantation to a life rediscovered and to a newly found wonder in the mysteries of the world and the mind" isn't enough for you, take heart! There's also a protest!

Join an ad hoc group of Lesbian, Trans, Bi and Gayas well as HIV/AIDS activists as they participate in an ongoing, nightly, peaceful, informational protest against Cirque du Soleil, which fired an HIV-positive acrobat. Bring a sign! But make sure it's a peaceful, informational sign, not a sign for hitting folks with! For reals. Don't hit anybody. You will go to jail. 8 p.m. Through Feb. 29. OC Fair & Expo Center, 88 Fair Dr., Costa Mesa, (213) 487-2368.
