Triptyque - T02059316070UK Premiere. Contemporary circus trailblazers The 7 Fingers (Les 7 doigts de la main) presents this triple bill of dance and circus, a collaboration with some of the world's most cutting-edge contemporary choreographers - Marie Chouinard (bODY_rEMIX/gOLDBERG_vARIATIONS), Victor Quijada (RUBBERBANDance) and Marcos Morau (La Veronal). The first piece, a duet directed by Chouinard, focuses on gravity and its effects on the movement of the body. A quintet of virtuoso hand-balancers sees the artists seeking absolute control of gravity and exploring the relationship between stillness and movement. The second piece (by Quijada) is a 30-minute hand-balancing quintet, while the final piece (by Morau) places a definite emphasis on circus, as eight artists free themselves of both internal and physical obstacles.Director Samuel Tetreault.

Traces - T387754775Four Men. One Woman. Five skateboards. One piano. Ten basketballs. Five hoops. One armchair. Seven fingers! Add it all up and multiply by a wow factor somewhere off the Richter scale for the funkiest, quirkiest slice of acrobatic dance theatre on the planet. Traces is a gravity-defying mix of circus, physical theatre and music from French-Canadian troupe The 7 Fingers (all former Cirque du Soleil members). They tumble. They leap. They dance. They swagger. They dive through hoops, walk up walls, hurtle down poles, spin in rings. All delivered with electrifying precision, breathtaking skill and a youthful urban energy that breathes fresh new life into contemporary circus. Wistful, dynamic and sexy - this is stripped back, livewire entertainment for the 21st century! | |
