Description:
When world-renowned circus stars dream up a factory, it’s a wild and wonderful workshop where the machines are circus props and the workers are acrobats, dancers, contortionists, and clowns. It’s Birdhouse Factory by Cirque Mechanics, an extraordinary troupe of veterans from Cirque du Soleil, Pickle Family Circus, and Moscow Circus who transform the mundane into the magnificent. “With its highly skilled clowning, mime, acrobatics and contortion, Birdhouse Factory provides a refreshing reinterpretation of traditional circus,” says The New York Times.
Inspired by Diego Rivera’s Detroit Industry murals, the whimsical illustrations of Rube Goldberg, and the comedic hijinks of Charlie Chaplin’s Modern Times, the show is a seamless blend of dance, acrobatics, and theatre, Birdhouse Factory thrills audiences with a moving story, amazing sets, and of course, jaw-dropping circus stunts.
