Cirque Mechanics Will Thrill Audiences of All Ages at UConn

Cirque Mechanics Will Thrill Audiences of All Ages at UConn’s Jorgensen Center for the Performing Arts on Sunday, October 13. Hailed by Spectacle Magazine as “the greatest contribution to the American circus since Cirque du Soleil”, circus performance ensemble Cirque Mechanics will take the center ring at, to thrill audiences of all ages with an afternoon of daredevil antics, awesome feats of strength, high-flying acrobatics, and a menagerie of innovative mechanical marvels – including a galloping mechanical horse.
The imaginative presentation,“42FT – A Menagerie of Mechanical Marvels” is the latest invention from the creative minds of Cirque Mechanics, who invite one and all to leap into the 42-ft circus center ring and experience the timelessness of this evolving art form, hoping the show’s unique mechanical interpretation of the traditional and its story full of the lore of the historic one-ring circus will create a welcoming place, like a big top, where both young and old can gather to be amazed and entertained.
Doors to the performance will open at 1:30 pm.  Performance begins at 2:00 pm.
Recommended for children ages 4 and older. For more information about the artists please visit www.cirquemechanics.com
