【2023 Weiwuying Circus Platform】Les 7 Doigts - Passagers
Performances of death defying feats … mixed with a raw beauty and a celebration of the human body that was breathtaking.——Boxing Over Broadway, USA
The entire production is incredible. Passagers uses circus art as not just a spectacle, but a tool for immersive storytelling. The unexpectedness of these dramatic stunts makes the show truly feel like magic. In Passagers every element of production came together to create a show that creates wonder of the same magnitude. The beauty and ingenuity of this show make it a must-see for all audiences. ——The Harvard Crimson, USA

Over the past 21 years, Les 7 Doigts, a Montreal-based circus company, has been "tell[ing] human stories with superhuman skills," opting for theatricality over flamboyance and imbuing their superb circus craft with sentiment. The Guardian once made a cinematic analogy: if Cirque du Soleil is the action-packed blockbuster, Les 7 Doigts is the indie film. Using the railway as its theme, Passagers presents farewells, new beginnings and reminiscences, and the intertwining of the railroad and the human experience. In the opening scene, the performers are seated, breathing in sync. Suddenly, as if the tracks diverged, the rhythm began to stagger. Gradually, the overlapping breaths transform into the sound of a moving train. Thus, a wondrous journey begins. Seemingly ordinary scenes become a multiverse of infinite wonders with the magic touch of Les 7 Doigts.
Passagers blends theater, dance, music, and projection into a unique circus aesthetic. It is not a mere demonstration of technical prowess but the exploration of the delicate balance of interpersonal relations. You will discover sceneries on the platforms, in the tunnel, inside the cabin, and between the tracks, and enjoy an abundance of circus acts, including hula hoops, aerial silk, juggling, contortion, hand-to-trap, the Chinese pole, and the Russian cradle. On board Passagers, the journey is the destination.

Team Introduction
Les 7 Doigts
Les 7 Doigts is an arts collective unlike any other. In 2002, the 7 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 Les 7 Doigts. 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 Les 7 Doigts' unequivocal mark. The company has consistently spread its horizons by mixing genres and exploring new ways to tell stories. Fascinated by the human condition, Les 7 Doigts create performances that celebrate our world, our time and our humanity. Their shows tour the globe and bring audiences to their feet wherever they go.
In 2018, Les 7 Doigts opened their very own Centre of Creation and Production. Situated in the heart of Montreal's downtown theater district, the new centre houses all of the company's activities, departments and dreams under one roof.
