The 7 Fingers is an arts collective unlike any other. In 2002, the seven founders set out to redefine circus by stripping down the spectacle to its thrilling essence.

The contemporary company tells stories using death-defying acrobatics with a life-affirming theatricality that is unique to The 7 Fingers. Since its inception, the company has expanded from its own signature touring shows to creating theatrical experiences as diverse as the very artistic directors themselves: original productions varying from intimate one-man shows to large-scale arena performances, Broadway musicals, artistic collaborations with renowned international artists and companies, production design and direction, special events, Olympic ceremonies, televised performances, fashion, art and music events, immersive experiences, and much more.

Every one of these projects carries The 7 Fingers’s unequivocal mark. The company has consistently spread its horizons by mixing genres and exploring new ways to tell stories. Fascinated by the human condition, The 7 Fingers creates performances that celebrate our world, our time, and our humanity. Its shows tour the globe and bring audiences to their feet wherever it goes.

In 2018, The 7 Fingers opened its very own Centre of Creation and Production. Situated in the heart of Montreal’s downtown theatre district, the new center houses all of the company’s activities, departments, and dreams under one roof.

The 7 Fingers has multiple projects around the world. Since 2021, it has been presenting an intimate and immersive production at the Club Fugazi in San Francisco:
Dear San Francisco, a love letter to the wondrous city by the bay.

Duel Reality and Ships in the Night, two original productions, are being presented on three Virgin Voyages cruise ships. Duel Reality, directed by Shana Carroll, is being adapted for touring and will open in Edinburgh this summer at the famous Fringe Festival.

The 7 Fingers is also working on the creation of a musical, based on the famous French Canadian folk-rock band Les Cowboys Fringants, that will premiere in Quebec this fall.

Shana Carroll, director of Passengers, is currently working as co-choreographer and circus designer for the musical Water for Elephants with PigPen Theatre Co. The show premiered at Atlanta’s Alliance Theatre in June.
