Cirque Mechanics "Birdhouse Factory"

Flynn MainStage

  • Friday, October 30, 2009, 8:00 PM

$27-$47

“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.
