ZEPHYR - A WHIRLWIND OF CIRCUS
Cirque Mechanics was founded in 2004 by German Wheel artist, Chris Lashua, and has 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."
Cirque Mechanics, although inspired by modern circus, finds its roots in the mechanical and its heart in the stories of American ingenuity. Its performances are 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. This production, the wind-inspired Zephyr—A Whirlwind of Circus, is Cirque Mechanics' most recent.
