This talented group of ex-Cirque de Soleil performers have been able to create a miracle project by collectively directing and choreographing an interactive theatrical experience that culls from their various skills, and features some highly acrobatic dance routines. Five of the seven members live cooperatively in a 21st Century commune. It is this sense of togetherness, both on and off stage, that makes Les 7 doigts de le main a stand out, must see show.
