Cirque Mechanics: Birdhouse Factory September 25, 2008

From a creative team of Cirque du Soleil veterans, Birdhouse Factory features acrobats, contortionists, clowns, and tight-rope walkers in a jaw- dropping stage spectacular inspired by the art of Diego Rivera and the whimsical illustrations of Rube Goldberg. In true Cirque tradition, this show takes an unlikely setting for a circus -- a factory -- and transforms the "workers" into acrobats and the "mechanics" into circus props! The mundane becomes magnificent as this extraordinary troupe tells the story of assembly line widget-makers whose lives are altered when a disoriented bird enters their domain. Enjoy this seamless blend of dance, acrobatics, and theater in an inventive production ideal for audiences of all ages.
