LOVE IS BLIND ... AND FURRY

Today-Sunday: The Four Humors may have an old-sounding name, but they are not practitioners of medieval medicine. Instead, the Twin Cities troupe does physical comedy. "Love Is Blind ... and Furry" is an old-fashioned sex farce set in an inn and featuring half a dozen perverts. The small company hopes to have some absurd fun with taboos. They hope that audiences will find it fun, too. (7:30 p.m. today-Sun., Bedlam Theater, 1501 S. 6th St., Mpls. $12-$15. 612-341-1038. www.bedlamtheatre.org.)

ROHAN PRESTON

ALARMEL VALLI

Today: Valli is among India's finest interpreters of Bharatanatyam dance. She has received two of her country's highest civilian honors for her artistry and is recognized internationally for a singular ability to translate classical movement into poetry in motion. Valli also has an important local connection -- she is the teacher to Ranee and Aparna Ramaswamy of Ragamala Dance. Come witness firsthand the source of their inspiration, accompanied by a live orchestra. (8 p.m. today, O'Shaughnessy Auditorium, College of St. Catherine, 2004 Randolph Av., St. Paul. $19, $17 students/seniors, $13 for ages 12 and under. 651-690-6700 or www.ticketmaster.com.)
