Cirque Mechanics

<p>Founded in 2004 by Boston native and German Wheel artist Chris Lashua, Cirque Mechanics will bring its production 42FT: A Menagerie of Mechanical Marvels to Stephens on February 4.

Rooted in realism with a display of raw quality, the show’s message is both timeless and relevant. The stories are wrapped in circus acrobatics, mechanical wonders and a bit of clowning around. <a href="https://www.center.iastate.edu/events/cirque-mechanics/">Tickets start at $30.</a></p>

Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad

<p>This stirring drama, an accurate and deeply moving musical history lesson, is a classic tribute to the courageous brave American who freed herself and hundreds of others from the bonds of slavery.</p><p>As her story unfolds we learn of Harriet’s early years in slavery, her escape to freedom, and her time as a conductor on the Underground Railroad, a lifeline for slaves escaping to freedom. The North wins the war bringing emancipation to the slaves, but that does not end Harriet’s struggle for freedom as she continues fighting for everyone who suffers inequality. This performance is part of our Youth Matinee Series. <a href="https://www.center.iastate.edu/events/harriet-tubman-and-the-underground-railroad/">Tickets start at $4.</a></p>
