In Tilt! Cirque Mechanics takes you on a journey to the backlot of their inventive theme park, where in the shadow of the roller coaster and under the lights of the ferris wheel, you’ll meet the operators, carnies, and characters that keep the rides running and the thrills coming. Cirque Mechanics, inspired by modern circus, finds its roots in the mechanical and its heart in the stories of American industrial ingenuity. The shows, imbedded in realism, display a raw quality rarely found in modern circus. Cirque Mechanics signature style is wrapped in acrobatics, mechanical marvels and a bit of clowning around. Their last production, Zephyr: A Whirlwind of Circus, was a big hit on McCallum’s Field Trip Series in 2023.
