Clayton Center for the Arts: Cirque Mechanics: 42FT- A Menagerie of Mechanical Marvels

At the center of every circus rests a 42ft ring full of thrills, laughs and excitement. 42FT – A Menagerie of Mechanical Marvels, is the latest invention from the creative minds of Cirque Mechanics. The action in 42FT is full of theatricality and a modern sensibility, and showcases a galloping mechanical metal horse. Also featuring a rotating tent frame to showcase strongmen, acrobats and aerialists, this circus uses a unique approach to performance, inspiring storytelling and innovative mechanical staging.

Although Cirque Mechanics inspiration is modern circus, its roots are in the mechanical and its heart in the stories of American industrial ingenuity. Consequently, the show creates a welcoming place where we can be amazed. Above all, the show, embedded in realism, displays a raw quality rarely found in modern circus. Cirque Mechanics signature style exhibits acrobatics, mechanical marvels, and a bit of clowning around.
