Canada’s Les 7 Doigts (The 7 Fingers) straddle the gap
between circus and dance to take you where neither
can alone. Now, for the first time in the company’s
history, a trio of outside choreographers from the top
of the dance world have been invited to reimagine the
collision of these forms.
These keen-eyed and daring dancemakers refuse to
be limited by the constraints of the typical human body
and deploy the rare strength and gracefulness of their
performers to otherworldly effect. The vocabulary of
dance is expanded, while circus itself is transformed.

By turns playful and melancholic, sensual and surreal,
the three works assembled for Triptyque open portals
into bedrooms and hospital wards, urban jungles
and dreamscapes, and in each gravity is more of a
suggestion than a fact.
