Sequence 8
There are very few productions at the Live Arts & Philly Fringe Festival that can be enjoyed by children and adults alike. Parents who want to introduce their kids to the wonders of groundbreaking performing arts have an opportunity when Montreal-based urban circus group 7 Fingers returns to the fest with their new work Sequence 8. Unlike the more famous Canadian circus troupe Cirque du Soleil, 7 Fingers is more concerned with expressing the performers’ personality than creating a spectacle-driven work with colorful costumes and eye-popping special effects. Sequence 8 emphasizes the performers’ shared humanity with routines that rely on collaboration and human contact. Highlights include a staircase constructed with human bodies and a jaw-dropping display of juggling dexterity by a hunky shirtless performer using simple wooden blocks. Combing dance choreography, extravagant gymnastics and high-flying circus acts, Sequence 8 is festival fun that can be enjoyed by the entire family. -J.C.R.
