Machine de Cirque

Clever, Entertaining, Great staging, Funny

October 1st, 2018

See it if you want to enjoy 60 minutes of creative circus entertainment. Very unusual staging and very talented young performers.

Don't see it if you enjoy serious drama or do not enjoy circus entertainment of any kind.

Also Both adults and children can enjoy this show. The New Victory Theater is mainly for children's entertainment so is perfect place for children to come and see great shows. The length of this show will meet most children's attention spans.... Read more Read less

See it if You like really innovative staged circus. These guys are amazing. Organized chaos, cleverly choreographed and very skilled.

Don't see it if You don't like unconventional circus acts which have little form but great creativity.

Also This is in all respects a remarkable show. I have seen a lot of staged circus performances, many at the New Victory. I think this was the most remarkable. The coordination of the performers and their athleticism was truly amazing.... Read more Read less

See it if You want to see very talented, extremely creative acrobats

Don't see it if You don't like acrobats or mime

Also I took 2 children, a 10 year old girl and a 12 year old boy on the autism spectrum who usually likes nothing and needs an aisle seat in case we have to leave in the middle. He laughed throughout the show and loved it. It was a great experience.... Read more Read less

However, through astounding performances, intriguing set design and an air of honest darkness surrounded by silly levity, they like what they see...Fantastical and awe-inspiring...

for a previous production "Your mouth will be agape at times while watching this 90-minute show. At other times you’ll likely find yourself wearing a goofy smile as a quartet of high-spirited circus artists and one energetic percussionist team up to deliver an inspired performance of acrobatics and broad comedy."

for a previous production "Perhaps the number that best combines Machine’s acrobatics and comedic skills was an extended skit in which the performers try to doff bathing suits and still not display full frontal nudity, thanks to a rousing variety of hilarious maneuvers and split-second timing. Yes, they perform with great...
