It's an unwritten rule that when you need a bellhop, you can't find one. The bellhop at Circus Flora's Hotel Balding has disappeared, and in The Case of the Missing Bellhop, the entire circus goes on the hunt for him, using desperate measures to find him. Acrobat Jeison Dominguez takes the high road, climbing the rotating Wheel of Destiny as it heads for the top of the big top, while Cuzin Grumpy's trained pigs search low, as only learned pigs can. The St. Louis Arches, the Flying Wallendas and the Alanian Riders and their horses all join the search. Can anyone find the little fella? Circus Flora opens its new season in its new permanent home in Grand Center (3401 Washington Boulevard; www.circusflora.org) with shows Thursday through Sunday (April 19 to May 13) and two 7 p.m. Wednesday performances (April 25 and May 2). Tickets are $12 to $75. $12-$75

HEARding Cats Collective Presents Black Cats and Blues by Craig Vear
Thu., May 3, 8-10 p.m. 314-533-0367info@kranzbergartsfoundation.org
Live Music, Performing Arts
The piece is inspired by Boris Vian’s book ‘Blues for a Black Cat’. Black Cats and Blues uses the human performer to initiate and interact with a vast multimedia system. Text, image, and sound interact with camera analysis tracking the performer’s motion and real-time sound (frequency) analysis from the performer’s instrument. These elements also facilitate a live, generative score. With an emphasis on using technology to extend the capabilities of the performer, Black Cats and Blues carefully balances media and human interactions, maintaining a system of chance, control, and sonic extension that results in a unified, cohesive whole. $15 General Admission | $10 Artists & Students
