Cirque Mechanics at Hylton Performing Arts Center

Behold “the greatest contribution to American circus since Cirque du Soleil” (Spectacle
Magazine), Cirque Mechanics! Since 2004, these modern acrobats and aerialists have drawn
inspiration from the machinery that powers our world to tell artful and ingenious stories that are
both eye-widening and heart-stopping. In Zephyr – A Whirlwind of Circus, Cirque Mechanics
dramatizes humanity’s relationship to the element of wind and our efforts to harness its force. In
this exhilarating circus performance featuring a giant 20-foot-tall rotating windmill, Cirque
performers embrace the energy of air to fly, balance, float, and more. Fall under the spell of the
mechanical gears and cogs of the mighty windmill and the spirited, acrobatic performers of
Cirque Mechanics.
