By The 7 Fingers

June 12 – June 29

"A full-throttle journey … guaranteed to leave you breathless" – Mercury News

"In captivating ‘Passengers,' this train is bound for glory." – Boston Globe

"An illustration of grace, freedom, moments of wonder and leaps of faith" – The Guardian (UK)

All aboard! Montreal's acclaimed contemporary physical theater troupe The 7 Fingers pulls into PAC NYC for a theatrical journey that is not to be missed. The passengers on this train don't sit in silence staring at their phones – they express their hopes and dreams through an astonishing blend of cirque, music, and dance, telling human stories with superhuman skills. Poetic goodbyes. Anticipatory reunions. Fateful encounters. Passengers is that rare, genre-defying entertainment that makes a perfect date night or a thrilling family adventure.

About The 7 Fingers

Upon their founding in 2002, The 7 Fingers forged a new genre of contemporary circus with their signature fusion of theatre, dance and acrobatics, stripped down to its raw, dramatic core. A Montreal-based collective, their name refers to the 7 founders themselves, who began as circus performers and evolved into a band of directors, writers and choreographers, their varying styles showcased in an equally diverse array of creative projects. All the while holding true to their original mission statement of showcasing "the human within the superhuman": The 7 Fingers leave their multi-digit handprint on all they touch.
