About the Show

Fill your hearts with circus cheer—the merry daredevils of Cirque Mechanics (Zephyr, 2023) are back with an industrial-strength spectacular for you and your kin. Sparkling with holiday spirit, the ever energetic ensemble of acrobats transforms a drab assembly plant into a holly jolly Yuletide Factory! From the wonder of the German wheel to festive flips from the trampoline wall, they dash and dance through a pageant of powerhouse stunts with grins and goodwill. It’s high-flying fun, comfort and joy for the whole family!

Exceptional, evocative, eye-catching, ear-catching and, to keep the list short, engrossingly entertaining

Character and Story Guide

This show guide will be ready before performances begin.

Text reads "YULTIDE FACTORY: Cirque Mechanics," and to the left, there's a photo of a person hanging upside down with the cord of a light wrapped around them.

The show on stage is just one act of your experience! Come early or stay late for free lobby activities on the day of the show. Then whether you’re building anticipation, continuing the fun or looking for laughs at any time, at-home New Victory Arts Break activities await you whenever and wherever.

About the Artists

Cirque Mechanics has a signature style wrapped in acrobatics, mechanical marvels and a bit of clowning around. For every new show, founder and Cirque du Soleil veteran Chris Lashua starts by sketching an elaborate machine that will serve as the onstage centerpiece. In and around these creative contraptions, the ensemble of aerialists, jugglers and gymnasts builds enchantingly theatrical circus experiences fit for every season.
