Circus acrobatics and early twentieth-century machines come together to tell a story of laughter, love, flight, loss, and birdhouses. The show was inspired in part by Diego Rivera’s Detroit industry murals, the outrageous illustrations of Rube Goldberg, and by Charlie Chaplin's film
Modern Times.
Birdhouse Factory is brought to life thanks to the vision of its director, Chris Lashua, his inventive machines, and the talent of its international cast, former members of the world renowned Cirque Du Soliel and the Nanijing acrobatic troupe.
