Useful information
about the performance
What would the festival be without its tried and tested regulars who keep reinventing themselves? The Canadian formation Les 7 doigts de la main (The 7 Fingers) has been a guest in the theatre tent on Burgplatz several times in the theatre tent on Burgplatz. The company comes from Montreal, the capital of the New Circus, and is a collective that has been reducing circus to its essence since 2002. Now the ensemble comes to Düsseldorf with “DUEL Reality”, an idiosyncratic adaptation of the most famous love drama in world literature, William Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet”. Shana Carroll’s creation takes the plot back to the core of its conflict. The stage becomes a pulsating sports arena and the audience experiences the initially playful rivalry of two groups before the game turns bitterly serious.
Expert tip
Andreas Dahmen, director Düsseldorf Festival
"Les 7 doigts from Canada are one of the best circus companies in the world. Fast-paced acrobatics paired with poetic dance. Not to be missed!"
