The world-famous circus The 7 Fingers invites you into their kitchen for a multi-sensory marvel.

As in their previous Boston appearances (Traces, Sequence 8, and PSY), Cuisine & Confessions showcases this innovative troupe’s trademark acrobatic and choreographic prowess – but this time, adds sound, smell, touch, and taste!

The result is a literal theatrical feast! This completely original stir-fry of theatrical brilliance incorporates circus thrills with lots of laughs.

These amazing circus performers also touch our emotions as they share vulnerable stories from their past, almost like a circus “A Chorus Line” – foods prepared, memories made — and the rituals that underpin the most important relationships in our lives.

Since forming in Montreal in 2002 as an off-shoot of Cirque du Soleil, The 7 Fingers has toured over 300 cities in over 40 countries. A circus company built on a human scale, they have produced a dozen shows with over 4200 performances to date, including the musical Pippin on Broadway, and the long-running hits Traces and the off-Broadway cabaret Queen of the Night.

Creator Shana Carroll is also the creator of the acrobatics for Cirque du Soleil’s brand new Broadway production Paramour.

The New York Times proclaims them “the rebel circus” and says, “7 doigts’ combining circus acts with emotion and intimacy to win over the audience is a tenet of the new circus movement that started in the counter-cultural departure from the stunt for stunt’s sake philosophy of traditional three ring circuses.”

Boston reviewers rave about Cuisine and Confessions:

“Completely delirious and fun. It’s a must-see!” – WGBH

“A bangquet for the senses by these impossible lithe and elastic performers who turn themselves into human projectiles, hurtling above the stage, all while sustaining a burst of creative energy that recalls a joyous dance party vibe” –The Boston Globe

“Sheer magical theatricality. Not just a circus act, but a consummate work of theater, too.” – WBUR/The Artery
