About Carnival of the Animals 
In the Chicago premiere of Carnival of the Animals, acclaimed spoken word artist Marc Bamuthi Joseph and legendary dancer Wendy Whelan take the stage together to guide the audience through today's political jungle with poetry, dance, and music. Experience a vivid reimagining of the Camille Saint-Saëns’ classic composition, reworked by composer and interdisciplinary artist Sugar Vendil more than one hundred years after its original publication. Please note: This performance contains strong language.
