7 Fingers at Spiegeltent through August 31
Posted August 8, 2007
Les 7 Doigts de la Main are the French-Canadian based circus troupe you may
have seen performing on TV to promote the Olympics in Montreal. Founding
members include the charismatic diabolist who co-hosted the IJA public show
in Montreal in 2000, Patrick Léonard, and another solid diabolist, Sébastien
Soldevila.
From the Spiegeltent website:
Be the first to see this world premiere!
A special limited New York engagement only at the Spiegeltent!
La Vie is a cabaret... on the outskirts of life. Before exiting either
upstage or downstage, the players are literally dying to prove themselves.
It will be the performance of a lifetime. Flying high above the audience,
the MC cajoles the players to act out unfulfilled fantasies, reveal hidden
taboos and indulge unrequited passions. The final judgment is up to you.
Remember, someone's hell is another's heaven.
"The gently unorthodox, intelligently wry and breathtaking skillful wonder
of the 'new circus' experience called '7 Fingers.' If this is the circus of
the 21st century, things are looking up."
-Robert Hurwitt, San Francisco Chronicle
Last summer, New York was intoxicated by Absinthe. Now La Vie is set to turn
up the heat at Spiegelworld. Montreal's sizzling circus-arts theatre
company, Les 7 Doigts de la Main, will present the first ever theatro-batic
show hand crafted for a Spiegeltent. Four years ago, seven extraordinary
performers from Cirque du Soleil and beyond formed the company which has
since captivated audiences around the globe. Their mix of life-threatening
aerial acrobatics, wild characters and wicked music will ignite the intimate
Speigelworld stage. La Vie dares you to explore all of life's extremes.
