Thank you to The Long Center and Cirque Mechanics for bringing Birdhouse Factory to Austin! It was a fabulous perfomance with plenty of acrobatics, entertainment and good music. The story is based in a factory with acrobats as workers. The workers perform a variety of amazing acts including contortion, German wheel, hand balancing (with a female base), aerial hoop and trampoline .Most of the artists have performed at Cirque du Soleil at some point during their career and all of them are very talented and engaging. The clown brings a great sense of humor to show and really connected with the audience.
The show was inspired by the industry murals of Mexican-born artist Diego Rivera as well as images of Rube Goldberg (cartoonist) and the humor style of Charlie Chaplin. Originally the show was performed in San Francisco in 2004 but it's now touring around the United States and internationally.
