Cirque Mechanics quickly established itself as a premiere American circus\, with its unique approach to performance\, inspiring storytelling\, and innovative mechanical staging. Spectacle Magazine hailed it as “the greatest contribution to the American circus since Cirque du Soleil.” \nCirque Mechanics\, although inspired by modern circus\, finds its roots in the mechanical and its heart in the stories of American ingenuity. The shows\, rooted in realism\, display a raw quality\, rarely found in modern circus\, that makes their message timeless and relevant. The stories are wrapped in circus acrobatics\, mechanical wonders\, and a bit of clowning around. The troupe has created five extraordinary productions; Birdhouse Factory\, Boomtown\, Pedal Punk\, 42FT- A Menagerie of Mechanical Marvels\, and\, most recently\, the wind-inspired Zephyr. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Parking\nParking can be challenging\, particularly for sold-out events.
