‘Pedal Punk’

Forget about those daring young men on a flying trapeze — how about those daring young people on a flying bicycle? This circus show, presented by the troupe Cirque Mechanics at the New Victory Theater, takes place aboard the Gantry: a huge, Rube Goldberg-style contraption consisting of bicycle parts. It can be pedaled and ridden, but it can also be a platform and a series of devices for aeralists, contortionists, clowns and dancers, as this company of nine demonstrates.
