SUMMARY:Cirque Mechanics: TILT!
DESCRIPTION:Step right up to the dazzling world of Tilt! A ‘80s Circus Thrill Ride — a highflying homage to America’s iconic amusement parks set in the 1980s. Bursting with acrobatics\, aerial artistry\, juggling\, and a dose of nostalgia\, this theatrical circus adventure brings the era’s vibrant sights and sounds to life. \nAt the center of the spectacle\, in keeping with Cirque Mechanics customary ingenuity\, stands a marvel of man-powered engineering: a giant Ferris Wheel\, surrounded by incredible machines that reimagine the classic rides and games of the time. \nOur story follows a weary amusement park worker stuck in the grind\, his joy for the park long faded. But when he confiscates a guest’s boom box\, a playful chase ignites — a whirlwind of stunts\, surprises\, and shared laughter. In the end\, the pursuit transforms into a heartfelt moment of connection\, proving that even in the unlikeliest places\, we can find common ground to bring us together. \nNote: A full-length version of this performance takes place at 7:30pm the same evening. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				 Run Time: ~ 60 minutesRecommended for: Grades 4-12Study Guide: download pdf here \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				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Tickets\nContact theschaefercenter@appstate.edu\, call 828-262-4046\, visit the box office at the Schaefer Center for the Performing Arts\, or register online.\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				$5/person\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Register group of 25+ people\n			\n				Register group of less than 25 people\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				About the Company\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Cirque Mechanics\, inspired by modern circus\, finds its roots in the mechanical and its heart in the stories of American industrial ingenuity. The shows\, imbedded in realism\, display a raw quality rarely found in modern circus. Cirque Mechanics’ signature style is wrapped in acrobatics\, mechanical marvels and a bit of clowning around. This sensibility can be found in the company’s five theatrical productions — “Birdhouse Factory\,” “Boom Town\,” “Pedal Punk\,” “42ft\,” and “Zephyr.” \nThe productions infuse the entertainment world with original apparatus and unique designs that can be found nowhere else. \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				Educator Workshops\nThe APPlause!
