7 Fingers

State-of-the-Art Circus

The 7 Fingers/Les 7 doigts de la main have taken the world by storm with their disarmingly eccentric and intelligent re-interpretation of circus.

Founded in Montreal in 2002 by seven seasoned circus performers, The 7 Fingers first performed at Montreal’s Just For Laughs, where they were hailed as the festival’s “best kept secret.” The 7 Fingers went on to tour the world, create a second cast for their show LOFT for an eight-month engagement in Berlin, produce short films and four television specials, and most recently were a huge hit at the Quebec Scene festival at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa.

This October, The 7 Fingers will make their Toronto premier at the Panasonic Theatre with TRACES, originally created for the closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games in Turin. With state-of-the-art circus skills and a jet-fuelled urban street energy, TRACES explores new artistic territory combining stunning acrobatics with literally anything and everything that comes to hand. Starring Heloise Bourgeois, Raphael Cruz, Bradley Henderson and William Underwood.
