When world-renowned circus stars dream up a factory, it is no ordinary industrial plant. It's a wild and wonderful workshop where the machines are circus props and the workers are acrobats, dancers, contortionists, and clowns. It's Birdhouse Factory by Cirque Mechanics, an extraordinary troupe of Cirque de Soleil, Pickle Family Circus, and Moscow Circus veterans who transform the mundane into the magnificent.
Inspired by Diego Rivera's Detroit Industry murals, the whimsical illustrations of Rube Goldberg, and the comedic hijinks of Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times, the show tells the story of assembly-line workers producing humdrum widgets at the H. Rosebud Factory, until a disoriented bird creates mayhem and forever alters their lives and the factory's future. While its inspirations make Birdhouse Factory artful, nostalgic, and funny, the true essence of the show comes from the circus. Presented by Miller Outdoor Theatre
