Cirque Mechanics: March 6
"Enter the most unlikely setting for a circus: a factory! One where the workers are acrobats and the machines are circus props. Welcome to Birdhouse Factory!
Birdhouse Factory is a simple story of daily life in a “widgets” factory circa 1935 as workers are brought together by the most unlikely of events—a bird accidentally injured by the main steam boiler. The accident and caring for the bird brings the workers closer together and inspires them to break away from the monotony of the assembly line. They showcase their true inner talents and abilities by using their bodies and machines to build birdhouses in a more joyous and soulful way."
