Direct from Paris, Rome, Montreal, and Moscow, the international hit, Cuisine and Confessions by the world-famous circus Les 7 Doigts de la main, makes its American premiere for a limited engagement in Boston this summer.
7 Doigts invites all of Boston into their kitchen for this multi-sensory marvel. Like in their previous Boston appearances in Traces, Sequence 8, and PSY, Cuisine and Confessions showcases their innovative trademark acrobatic and choreographic prowess – but this time, adds sound, smell, and touch (and taste!) to their always-visually impressive aesthetic mix. A theatrical feast; literally. An unusual mélange of circus, avant-garde dance, personal narrative, theatre, and cooking show comedy, Cuisine and Confessions explores stories from our family kitchens--foods prepared, memories made—rituals that underpin our most important relationships. In the words of world-renowned chef Jacques Pepin, “there is something evanescent, temporary, and fragile about food. You make it, it goes, and what remains are memories.” So sit back, “feed your eyes and mouth – and make sure you don’t try any of this at home,” cheers Time Out (Paris).
Since forming in Montreal in 2002 as an off-shoot of Cirque du Soleil, The 7 Fingers has toured over 300 cities in over 40 countries. A circus company built on a human scale, they have produced a dozen shows with over 4200 performances to date, including the musical Pippin on Broadway, and the long-running hits Traces and the off-Broadway cabaret, Queen of the Night. Creator Shana Carroll is also the creator of the acrobatics for Cirque du Soleil’s brand new Broadway production, Paramour. The New York Times proclaims them “the rebel circus” and says, “7 doigts’ combining circus acts with emotion and intimacy to win over the audience is a tenet of the new circus movement that started in the counter-cultural departure from the stunt for stunt’s sake philosophy of traditional three ring circuses.”
