Cirque Mechanics: Pedal Punk

Cirque celebrates The Wheel!

Cycling meets steampunk - without the heavy machinery! The latest creation from artisan cirque troupe Cirque Mechanics sees a mad inventor who creates more than mere bicycles in his chaotic workshop, as works of wonder, amusement and his unsuspecting customers find out! Combining simple technology, acrobatic skill and reminiscent of a time gone by, be transported to a world far from the smartphone, the internet, and rediscover the power of movement!

Created by Boston native and an expert of the German Wheel Chris Lashua , Cirque Mechanics sets out to combat the overwhelming circus spectaculars (including a certain Montreal-based super brand) in favor of a more pared-down yet artistically challenging ethos, following his successful collaboration with San Francisco's Birdhouse Factory.
