what's happening 17 movies 14 thurs Sunrise 5:29am; Sunset 8:57pm Av High 72; Av Low 47 The Red Raven Follies are at it again, combining dance, juggling, acrobatics and burlesque in the Tarot-themed vaudeville variety show “Fool’s Journey Roadshow,” which is nothing short of outrageous. This band of beautiful maniacs has a bit of everything going on — aerialists, hoopers, dancers, a high priestess of temptation — there’s a reason The Red Raven Follies were voted the best performing arts group in Eugene by EW readers. Go fi nd out for yourself; you’re sure to be wowed. Also on the bill is another troupe of wild folks known as The Wanderlust Circus, who will be putting on “The Mata Hari Hustle.” This Portland-based group has been described as a “bombastic burlesque battle to the death.” Belly dancers, a swing-dance duet, a juggling sword swallower and stilt walkers are a few of the things you can expect to see, set to a soundtrack of vintage swing music. “The Mata Hari Hustle” and “Fool’s Journey Roadshow” start 9:30pm Friday, June 15, at WOW Hall; $13 adv., $15 door.
