Cirque Mechanics: Pedal Punk
Step into the whimsical world of Pedal Punk, where cycling becomes a means to escape a technology-obsessed society. Set in a zany bike shop, a wacky mechanic interacts with cyclists and bikes, creating wondrous machines that inspire the cyclist in all of us to become a pedal punk. The performance features a custom-made, movable, pedal-powered scaffold set dubbed the Gantry Bike, serving as the stage for aerialists, contortionists, and unicyclists.
Throughout the day, catch teaser performances by Cirque Mechanics along Main Street, offering glimpses into the full spectacle. These pop-up acts provide an up-close experience of the troupe’s unique blend of acrobatics and mechanical marvels.
Don’t miss this unforgettable celebration of creativity, community, and the boundless possibilities of performance art.
Exceptional for the wit, whimsy and wonder.

About The Artists
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. This sensibility can be found in our five theatrical productions, “Birdhouse Factory”, “Boom Town”, “Pedal Punk”, “42ft” , and “Zephyr” and we are excited to bring this unique approach to circus to “Cirque Mechanics Under Canvas” our brand new tent project that we launched in the summer of 2022.
