Ageless stories spun in mid-air. Acrobats riding on mechanical wonders. All
wrought from the raw material of American ingenuity (plus a little clowning
around). Inspired in part by Charlie Chaplin’s film Modern Times and by the
illustrations of Rube Goldberg, Cirque Mechanic’s Birdhouse Factory is brought
to life by founder and director Chris Lashua. This is an American circus with
incredible and inventive machines, and a story that speaks to us all.
“Intelligently conceived and expertly executed, Birdhouse Factory is, in a word,
excellent.” —The New York Times
