Cirque Mechanics returns to Blacksburg with its newest adventure, Tilt! Prepare to journey to the backlot of an inventive theme park, where in the shadow of the roller coaster and under the lights of the Ferris wheel, you’ll meet the operators, carnies, and characters that keep the rides running and the thrills coming.
Cirque Mechanics, although inspired by modern circus, finds its roots in the mechanical and its heart in the stories of American ingenuity. The stories are wrapped in circus acrobatics, mechanical wonders, and a bit of clowning around, and include the spectacular flipping, soaring, and balancing everyone loves.
This performance is supported in part by a gift from Dr. Mark and Connie Froggatt.
Cirque Mechanics previously performed at the center in 2015, 2022, and 2024.
This performance will last approximately 90 minutes with one intermission.*
