Duel Reality

Les 7 Doigts de la Main will be performing a dance and acrobatic version of the tragedy by William Shakespeare: Romeo and Juliet from 18 to 28 April, with performances from Wednesday to Sunday at the Teatro Circo Price.

It is one of the most famous plays by Shakespeare, written around 1597. This romantic drama tells the story of two young lovers, Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, whose families were feuding.  In spite of the animosity between the clans, Romeo and Juliet fall deeply in love and decide to marry in secret.  However, a series of misunderstandings and circumstances lead to disaster in their relationship.

Les 7 Doigts de la Main is a group of circus artists set up in 2002 in Montreal (Canada) by seven founding members: Isabelle Chassé, Shana Carroll, Patrick Léonard, Faon Shane, Gypsy Snider, Sébastien Soldevila and Samuel Tétreault. This is where it gets its name from, which is translated as "The 7 fingers of a hand".

Thanks to performances like Traces, PSY or Séquence 8, it has become extremely popular. It has stood out for its unusual and unique productions in which contemporary dance, acrobatics, theatre and circus are combined. It has given more than 8,000 performances in 40 countries and went a step further in 2016 when it set up a non-profit foundation that seeks to support the production and dissemination of innovative works, as well as artistic development through residences, tutorials or workshops.
