The 7 Fingers is an arts collective unlike any other. In 2002, the seven founders set out to redefine circus by stripping down spectacle to its thrilling essence. 

This contemporary physical theater company tells stories using death-defying acrobatics with a life-affirming theatricality that is unique to The 7 Fingers. 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 The 7 Fingers’ unequivocal mark. The company has consistently spread its horizons by mixing genres and exploring new ways to tell stories. Fascinated by the human condition, The 7 Fingers 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, The 7 Fingers opened their very own Centre of Creation and Production. Situated in the heart of Montréal’s downtown theater district, the new center houses all the company’s activities, departments, and dreams under one roof.
