On the fringe
Today. The bizarre and somewhat insane New York fringe team of Harrington & Kauffman, frequent guests at the Boulder International Fringe Festival, will be back at Buntport Theater this weekend for the staging of their newest work, “Cabaret Terrarium.” It’s described as “an epic comedy of amnesia and redemption,” in which a bizarre Belgian cabaret singer named Gustave and his silent assistant Nhar travel the world in search of clues about Gustave’s family and his own shadowy past. The duo previously appeared at Buntport with their plays, “Motel California.” and “Nharcolepsy.” 8 p.m. at 717 Lipan St. $13-$16. 720-946-1388 or .
