At the center of every circus we find a 42ft ring full of thrills,
laughs and excitement. In 42ft: A Menagerie of Mechanical Marvels,
Cirque Mechanics dares us to leap into the circus ring to experience
the endurance of this evolving art form. The shows’ unique
mechanical interpretation of the traditional and its story full of the
reality and lore of the historic one-ring circus, create a welcoming
place, much like a big top, where we can be amazed. The action in 42ft
is displayed with theatricality and a modern sensibility, showcasing a
galloping mechanical metal horse and a rotating tent frame for
strongmen, acrobats and aerialists. Cirque Mechanics was founded in
2004 by Boston native and German Wheel artist Chris Lashua, after the
success of his collaborative project with the Circus Center of San
Francisco, Birdhouse Factory. Cirque Mechanics quickly established
itself as a premiere American circus, with its unique approach to
performance, inspiring storytelling and innovative mechanical staging.
Spectacle Magazine hailed it as “the greatest contribution to the
American circus since Cirque du Soleil.” May 29th 6:00 PM May 30th
