Quotes & Highlights
- “Unusual and exciting” --The New York Times

- "...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." --San Francisco Chronicle
- “Good old naughty and bawdy fun! Viewers will leave bewitched!” --The Star-Ledger

La Vie is a cabaret...on the outskirts of life. Before exiting either upstage or downstage, the players are literally dying to prove themselves. Flying high above the audience, the MC cajoles the players to act out unfulfilled fantasies, reveal hidden taboos and indulge unrequited passions. The final judgement is up to you. Remember, someone's hell is another's heaven.
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.
