Chaos Montreal/Zoofest
Alternative theatre, circus, dance, comedy and music, Chaos Montreal / Zoofest is offering over 50 shows. I'd get into the highlights but Zoofest's website is driving me crazy (if I have to hear that buzzing noise one more time ...). I'm almost positive there's some great affordable shows on hand but you'll have to navigate this one for yourself.
