AUSTRALIAN EXCLUSIVE
LES 7 DOIGTS
TRIPTYQUE
Canada’s Les 7 doigts (The 7 Fingers) straddle
the gap between circus and dance to take you
where neither can alone.
Now, for the first time in the company’s
history, a trio of outside choreographers from
the top of the dance world have been invited
to reimagine the collision of these forms.
These keen-eyed and daring dancemakers
refuse to be limited by the constraints of
the typical human body and deploy the
rare strength and gracefulness of their
performers to otherworldly effect. The
vocabulary of dance is expanded, while
circus itself is transformed.
By turns playful and melancholic, sensual
and surreal, the three works assembled
for Triptyque open portals into bedrooms
and hospital wards, urban jungles and
dreamscapes, and in each gravity is more
of a suggestion than a fact.
