Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, to the Cirque Mechanics world of gears, canvas, pulleys, and sawdust – within 42FT.

At the center of every circus rests a 42-foot ring full of thrills, laughs, and excitement. 42FT – A Menagerie of Mechanical Marvels is the latest invention from the creative minds of Cirque Mechanics. The company dares us to leap into the circus ring and experience the timelessness of this evolving art form. The show’s story full of the lore of the historic one-ring circus, plus its unique mechanical interpretation of the traditional, create a welcoming place, like a big top, where we can be amazed. The action in 42FT is full of theatricality and a modern sensibility, showcasing a galloping mechanical metal horse and a rotating tent frame for strongmen, acrobats, and aerialists.

Cirque Mechanics, inspired by modern circus, finds its roots in the mechanical and its heart in the stories of American industrial ingenuity. The company’s show, embedded in realism, displays a raw quality rarely found in modern circus. Cirque Mechanics’ signature style is wrapped in acrobatics, mechanical marvels, and a bit of clowning around. The company returns to the Peace Center stage following the popularity and success of Pedal Punk.

The village of Triskelion has been isolated for as long as anyone can remember. Her inhabitants grow weary and thirst for adventure. Now, they decide, is the time to venture into the wilderness and explore!

Do you have what it takes to brave the dangers of the unknown? Will you steel yourself and venture to uncover sights unseen? Can you handle what lies beyond the borders of the village?

This is West Marches!

West Marches is a style of Dungeons & Dragons game play that is a bit different than what you may have heard about or played before.

In a traditional game, the organizer (or Dungeon Master) predetermines content and guides the players through a story. The focus is on narrative. This type of game can be a lot of fun, however, it’s best enjoyed with a set cast of players and characters.

In a West Marches style game, the direction is determined by the players and is focused on world exploration. The story is told by the characters and their actions in the game. This type of game allows for a rotating cast of players in a more relaxed atmosphere.
