"The beauty of Birdhouse lies in the generosity with which the acts are layered upon each other and the superb integration of circus skills with music, light, and choreography. And the glory is in the excellence of the performers." —San Francisco Chronicle
Cirque Mechanics is an extraordinary troupe of Cirque du Soleil, Pickle Family Circus, and Moscow Circus veterans who transform the mundane into the magnificent. The setting is a factory, where the workers are acrobats
and the machines are circus props. Inspired by the masterful industry
murals of Diego Rivera, the outrageous illustrations of Rube Goldberg, and
the slap-stick humor of Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times, Birdhouse Factory
is a delight for both adults and children. These contortionists, trapeze artists,
jugglers, and trampoline wall artists are inspired fun for the entire family.
