2009 Performances

 

Cirque Mechanics
Birdhouse Factory

May 30 & 31, 2009

 
 

See circus performed like never before in a factory filled with acrobats, dancers, clowns, and contortionists who perform on giant gears, unicycle platforms, on a high-flying trapeze, and more! Inspired in part by Mexican-born Diego Rivera’s murals and Charlie Chaplin’s film Modern Times, Birdhouse Factory takes place in a 1930’s factory where circus mayhem ensues after a hapless bird flies into one of the factory’s machines. Watch as the worlds of machines and acrobats collide in this unique performance creating a feast for your eyes that will inspire your imagination.


 

 

Company members of Cirque Mechanics brought their amazing talent to Xelias Aerial Arts Studio in Northeast Minneapolis to teach a master class on aerial arts to students.
