Journey to an imagination factory where every machine is used for one amazing feat after another! The workers at the H. Rosebud Factory are interconnected by their roles on the assembly line until a hapless bird flies into one of their machines, creating mayhem and forever altering their lives and the factory’s future. This is circus with a heart that tells the story of laughter, love, flight, loss, and, above all, our interconnectedness.

“Juggling, tumbling, contortions, the vertical pole and the aerial hoop – the acts sound familiar enough, but they’ve never been packaged like this before.” – San Francisco Chronicle

“Genius…inventive…superb integration of circus skills with music, light, and choreography.” – San Francisco Chronicle
