About the Show

Fill your hearts with circus cheer—the merry daredevils of Cirque Mechanics (Zephyr, 2023) are back with an industrial-strength spectacular for you and your kin. Sparkling with holiday spirit, the ever energetic ensemble of acrobats transforms a drab assembly plant into a holly jolly Yuletide Factory! From the wonder of the German wheel to festive flips from the trampoline wall, they dash and dance through a pageant of powerhouse stunts with grins and goodwill. It’s high-flying fun, comfort and joy for the whole family!

Exceptional, evocative, eye-catching, ear-catching and, to keep the list short, engrossingly entertaining

—The New York Times

About the Artists

Cirque Mechanics has a signature style wrapped in acrobatics, mechanical marvels and a bit of clowning around. For every new show, founder and Cirque du Soleil veteran Chris Lashua starts by sketching an elaborate machine that will serve as the onstage centerpiece. In and around these creative contraptions, the ensemble of aerialists, jugglers and gymnasts builds enchantingly theatrical circus experiences fit for every season.
