Les 7 doigts de la Main translates as "the 7 fingers of the hand." It is a twist on a French idiom ("the five fingers of the hand") used to describe distinct parts united tightly, moving in cooridination towards one common goal. Les 7 doigts de la main's initial goal was to bring circus to a human scale, all the while blending such diverse forms as acrobatics, avant-garde dance, physical comedy, music, song, spoken word, interactive video projections, and live DJ-ing. The result was a brand new type of show. 2012 marks the premiere of their largest creation yet, PSY. The 7 Fingers found that the juxtaposition of dark and complex themes with the joyful and celebratory language of circus made for a rich artistic experiencem, and this time dove into the murky underworld of the human psyche, traveling through the various characters' dreams, visions and memories.
