About this event

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 man-powered 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. TILT!
