Les choses que j'ai vues allongée sur le dos
The dialogue for the performance on Thursday 12 November 2026 will be in English. All other shows will be in French.
From the primal vista of her childhood bedroom springs Shana Carroll's wildly imaginative, ground-breaking memoir that takes theater to new heights. Inspired by the Tony Award-nominated former trapezist's mesmerizing life story, a company of fearless performers transforms memory into daring aerial feats that are as moving as they are breathtaking.
What begins as an intimate recollection expands into a theatrical landscape where past and present collide. Childhood dreams, private fears, and defining moments are rendered through soaring trapeze, intricate choreography, and raw physical expression. Memory becomes momentum. Emotion becomes flight.
In the air, on the floor, and from the heart, Montreal's multidisciplinary creative collective, The 7 Fingers, brings its thrillingly modern brand of circus to life in a work that fuses personal narrative with virtuosic performance. The stage becomes both playground and confessional, a space where vulnerability is not hidden but elevated.
Blending contemporary circus, theater, and movement, this production embraces the fragility and resilience that shape us. It invites audiences into a shared human experience—one where risk mirrors growth, and where courage is found not in perfection, but in the willingness to leap.
