Cirque Mechanics
TILT! AN ‘80s CIRCUS THRILL RIDE
“Step right up to the dazzling world of Tilt!, a circus thrill ride that’s totally tubular! This electrifying Cirque Mechanics production is a high-flying journey through the magic, thrills, and neon-soaked nostalgia of America’s iconic 1980s amusement parks.
Featuring the company’s signature blend of circus arts, storytelling, and manpowered engineering, Tilt! delivers big energy and retro flair. At the heart of the spectacle is an awe-inspiring giant Ferris Wheel, surrounded by whimsical, human-powered contraptions that bring classic midway rides and games to life. It’s like your favorite arcade and amusement park memories got a gravity-defying upgrade. With humor, heart, jaw-dropping physical skill, and a wink of 80s attitude, Tilt! is a feel-good ride that appeals to circus fans, theater lovers, and anyone ready to rewind to a radder time.”
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.
This performance is made possible, in part, by a generous gift from Jay & Karen Heldt Chapman.
