From the creators of Pedal Punk and 42 FT
A place where spectators will watch a contortionist perform on a turntable powered by unicyclists, they will be captivated by the trapeze artist flying high thanks to the spins of an acrobat inside a giant gear-like wheel and they will be stunned when the trampoline wall artists defy the laws of physics by virtually flying and walking on air. All the while they will be giggling at the antics of the comedic characters, impressed by the acro-dancing and enchanted by the story of laughter, love, flight and birdhouses. Birdhouse Factory was inspired in part by the masterful industry murals of Mexican-born artist Diego Rivera, the outrageous illustrations of cartoonist Rube Goldberg and the slap-stick style humor of Charlie Chaplin's film "Modern Times". While its inspirations make Birdhouse Factory artful, nostalgic and funny, the true essence of the show comes from the circus.
More about Cirque Mechanics:
Cirque Mechanics inspired by modern circus, finds its roots in the mechanical and its heart in the stories of American industrial ingenuity. The shows, imbedded in realism, display a raw quality rarely found in modern circus. Cirque Mechanics signature style is wrapped in acrobatic, mechanical marvels and a bit of clowning around. Birdhouse Factory was the company’s very first production and it was to be presented in 2020 to commemorate Cirque Mechanics fifteen anniversary but was delayed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Thankfully it can be presented this season in celebration of the company’s sweet 16! Birdhouse Factory was followed by successful touring shows Boomtown, Pedal Punk and 42ft – A Menagerie of Mechanical Wonders.
