Circus, Dance, Theater: Passengers 

By The 7 Fingers  
June 12 – June 29

All aboard! Montreal’s acclaimed contemporary physical theater troupe The 7 Fingers pulls into PAC NYC for a  theatrical journey that is not to be missed. The passengers on this train don’t sit in silence staring at their phones  – they express their hopes and dreams through an astonishing blend of cirque, music, and dance, telling human  stories with superhuman skills. Poetic goodbyes. Anticipatory reunions. Fateful encounters. Passengers is that  rare, genre-defying entertainment that makes a perfect date night or a thrilling family adventure. 

Upon their founding in 2002, The 7 Fingers forged a new genre of contemporary circus with their signature fusion  of theatre, dance and acrobatics, stripped down to its raw, dramatic core. A Montreal-based collective, their  name refers to the 7 founders themselves, who began as circus performers and evolved into a band of directors,  writers and choreographers, their varying styles showcased in an equally diverse array of creative projects. All  the while holding true to their original mission statement of showcasing “the human within the superhuman”:  The 7 Fingers leave their multi-digit handprint on all they touch. 

Musical Theater: Giulia: The Poison Queen Of Palermo 

November 25 – December 21  

What begins as a single act of self-defense ripples through a town creating one of the world's most prolific  serial killers. Can Giulia Tofana destroy the monsters around her without becoming one herself?
