Cirque Mechanics Reimagines A One Ring Circus At ABT
By: A.A. Cristi Oct. 30, 2018
Step Right Up! Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls of All Ages! Alberta Bair Theater's First Interstate Bank Fox Series continues with Cirque Mechanics 42 FT: A Menagerie of Mechanical Marvels on Tuesday, November 6 at 7:30 p.m. A truncated performance, part of ABT's Valley Credit Union Student Matinee Series, begins at 12:30.
At the center of every circus rests a 42 foot ring full of thrills, laughs, and excitement. 42FT: A Menagerie of Mechanical Marvels is the latest invention from the creative minds of Cirque Mechanics who dares us to leap into the circus ring and experience the timelessness of this evolving art form. The show's unique mechanical interpretations of the traditional, and its story full of the lore of the historic one-ring circus, creates a welcoming place, like a big top, where we can be amazed. The action showcases a galloping mechanical metal horse with a juggling ballerina and a rotating tent frame for strongmen, acrobats and aerialists.
Cirque Mechanics signature style-acrobatics, mechanical marvels, and a bit of clowning around-is again the heart of this fun loving show for all ages. Alberta Bair Theater has proudly presented all previous titles Birdhouse Factory, Boomtown, and Pedal Punk by this Las Vegas based company.
This performance by Cirque Mechanics is sponsored by First Interstate Bank, WESTAF, ABC6/Fox4 and Upstream Media/Wild104. Tickets, $40/$30 and $25 for students with valid I.D., are available at the Alberta Bair Theater Box Office on the corner of 3rd Ave N and N Broadway, by phone at 406-256-6052 (box office hours are Monday through Friday, 10-5; Saturday 10-3) and/or online at www.albertabairtheater.org.
