May 29 – June 22, 2025
Bagley Wright Theater
Following their celebrated production of Passengers, internationally acclaimed circus troupe The 7 Fingers returns to Seattle Rep with the Shakespeare-inspired Duel Reality.
You are invited to the biggest, most breathtaking match of the century: Montagues vs. Capulets. These two feuding families face off in an epic competition of acrobatic talent and skill as the audience cheers them on. Through it all, a pair of star-crossed lovers defy death and their relations in their fight to be together. Adapted from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, The 7 Fingers bring their signature combination of incredible physical feats, theatricality, and music together to tell this story of love and honor.
An extraordinary display of mind-blowing acts of balance, control, musicality and pure talent
