Ottawa giveaway alert: 7 Doigts de la Main PSY-Mind-Blowing Circus
Posted by andrea tomkins in: Fishbowl patrons|Giveaways and product reviews
I have an amazing giveaway here from courtesy of the NAC!
There’s a new show in town called PSY, Mind-Blowing Circus and it’s performed by a group called Les 7 Doigts de la Main. Here’s a blurb from the NAC website:
PSY merges acrobatics of the body with acrobatics of the mind and soul.
For their fourth creation, Les 7 Doigts de la Main (also known as the 7 Fingers) delves into the rich and surreal underworld of the human psyche. PSY travels through a shifting landscape of distorted visions, fading dreams and fractured memories.
Insomnia, addiction, amnesia, paranoia, hypochondria. juggling, Chinese pole, German wheel, aerial rope, teeterboard. By juxtaposing these darker issues with the invigorating and life-affirming language of circus arts, PSY brings out the humour, beauty, and commonality of these various neuroses, all the while celebrating the power of the individual to surmount their ailments and self-imposed restrictions, finding moments of strength, courage and joy while flying through the air.
Hooo wee! That’s neat eh? According to the Boston Herald: “Watching PSY is like having the front-row seat to someone else’s fever dream. Les 7 doigts raises the bar on what cirque nouveau can do – not just physically but emotionally.”
Love. It.
Check out this video for an idea of what awaits (beware of the earworm of a song that accompanies it!):
Sounds pretty fantastic, don’t you think?
I always encourage people to bring their children to NAC performances, but please note this show is suitable for children 8+.
