[DID NOT ATTEND: March 4, 2023] Zephyr: A Whirlwind of Circus
I didn’t realize that this cirque was put on by Cirque Mechanics, a group we have seen before. (I had been calling it Cirque Zephyr).
It has bee a while since we’ve seen a Cirque, and this one looked a lot of fun (and it was so close). The date was the same day as my mother-in-law’s birthday. Initially I thought it might be fun to get tickets to this as a fun birthday activity. But I soon discovered that the family was planning something much bigger. So I didn’t bother to get tickets.
Here’s the description. And I hope RVCC gets another Cirque performance soon.
Mechanical wonders, circus gadgetry, and astonishing acrobatics are all part of Cirque Mechanics’ new show Zephyr: A Whirlwind of Circus, inspired by the power of the wind and the human ingenuity that goes into harnessing it. Centered around a giant windmill mounted on a turntable, performers fly, balance, float on air, and defy gravity in an exhilarating whirlwind circus. Fall under the spell of turning gears and whooshing sails in this tale about the unrelenting tug-of-war between man and nature. Experience the artistry and thrill of acrobatic bicycles, foot juggling, hair hanging, and the mysterious wheel of destiny in this all ages show that’ll blow you away.
