This show is dedicated to the memory of Raphael Cruz

"Sadness, tears, laughter, melancholy, amazement... In a mad poetry that is sublimated by the talent of circus artists who continuously flirt with dance, this company from Quebec takes the audience on a journey through their own emotions."

– Le Progrès

Les 7 Doigts de la Main is a creative collective like no other. Twenty years ago, its seven founders set out to redefine the contemporary circus starting from its very essence and to explore the infinite possibilities offered by the blending of artistic disciplines. Fascinated by the human condition, collective uses its creations to celebrate our world, our time, and our humanity.
