The Time Machinist

Following its acclaimed debut in Calgary in 2023, The Time Machinist returns in a bold new remount by Le Cirque de la Nuit. Named one of the Top 10 Theatre Productions of 2023 by Louis B. Hobson (Calgary Herald), this all-ages circus theatre spectacle blends high-flying circus, physical comedy, and cinematic storytelling into a thrilling journey through the ages.

Audiences are invited into the eccentric world of Owen Mittagen Vottenberg III, a self-proclaimed genius who showcases his collection of human specimens gathered on daring time-travel expeditions. As his invention is pushed beyond its limits, wonder and chaos collide. Featuring an extraordinary ensemble of performers, The Time Machinist brings together high flying circus, theatrical storytelling, and physical comedy in a visually rich stage experience. Audiences will witness aerial silks, trapeze, duo lyra, cyr wheel, acrobatics, hand balancing, unicycle, juggling, laser manipulation, dance, and live vocals, all woven seamlessly into the narrative.

Enhanced by striking visual effects and award-winning lighting design, the production unfolds like a live cinematic adventure, carrying audiences through moments of wonder, humour, and awe. From laugh-out-loud surprises to breathtaking feats, the show keeps audiences engaged from start to finish.

The Time Machinist is Perfect for theatre lovers, time travel fans, and circus enthusiasts of all ages!
