Watching David M. Harris balance on a shovel on top of a bowling ball is pretty cool, and he's certainly got mad juggling skills, but tricks are beside the point of this one-man show. Instead, this self-deprecating circus performer removes the mask to reveal the vulnerabilities and neuroses that led to him spending months and years in his basement perfecting random weird feats for no other reason than it would be awesome if he could do them. It's a show about the journey, not the end result. (5:30 p.m. Sat., 4 p.m. Sun., 7 p.m. Thu., 10 p.m. Aug. 12, Intermedia Arts, 2822 Lyndale Av. S., Mpls.)
