Cirque Mechanics’ Tilt!

Description

Step right up to the dazzling world of Tilt! A Circus Thrill Ride! Journey back to the 1980s and experience a high-flying homage to America’s iconic amusement parks. Bursting with acrobatics, aerial feats, juggling, and a dose of nostalgic charm, this theatrical circus adventure brings the sights, sounds, and spirit of the era to life.

 At the heart of the spectacle is a marvel of man-powered engineering: a giant Ferris Wheel, surrounded by incredible mechanical creations that reimagine classic rides and games of the time. 

The story follows a weary amusement park worker, worn down by the grind and long disconnected from the joy around him. When he confiscates a guest’s boom box, a playful chase erupts—an exhilarating whirlwind of stunts, surprises, and laughter. By the end, the pursuit transforms into a touching moment of connection, proving that even in the unlikeliest of places, shared joy can bring us together. 

Founded in 2004 by Chris Lashua, Cirque Mechanics is known for blending traditional circus artistry with mechanical invention and American storytelling. Their acclaimed productions have toured internationally, earning praise for originality, craftsmanship, and heart. 

Tilt! delivers a thrilling evening for audiences of all ages, with student matinees and a public performance designed to welcome audiences from across the region.
