COMING UP - BIRDHOUSE FACTORY

A story without words for everyone featuring over 10 acrobats…and birdhouses, too!

Enter the most unlikely setting for a circus: a factory. One where the workers are acrobats and the machines are circus props… Welcome to Birdhouse Factory! A place where you’ll watch a contortionist perform on a turntable powered by unicyclists. You’ll be captivated by the trapeze artist flying high thanks to the spins of an acrobat inside a giant gear-like wheel and you’ll be stunned when the trampoline wall artists defy the laws of physics by virtually flying and walking on air. All the while you’ll be giggling at the antics of the comedic characters, impressed by the acro-dancing and enchanted by the story of laughter, love, flight and birdhouses.

The inventive machines and the extraordinary talent and energy of its cast of acrobats, dancers, contortionists and clowns – former members of Cirque du Soleil, the Pickle Family Circus and the Moscow Circus - transform the mundane into the magnificent... Birdhouse Factory was inspired by the masterful industry murals of Mexican-born artist Diego Rivera, the outrageous illustrations of cartoonist Rube Goldberg and the slap-stick style humor of Charlie Chaplin's film Modern Times. While its inspiration make Birdhouse Factory artful, nostalgic and funny, the true essence of the show comes from the circus.
