The 7 Fingers Shine Before 8 Million Television Spectators on America’s Got Talent
By marion | July 25th, 2011Wednesday July 20: The TRACES artists were invited to perform on the NBC hit show America’s Got Talent. This is a remarkable feat for TRACES, coming right before the show’s opening at Union Square Theatre in New York on July 29. The show was watched by over 8 million spectators.
For the occasion, director Gypsy Snider staged a medley of the show, accompanied the song Touched by VAST and offering audiences a taste of what will be on stage this summer in New York.
“The show’s only real suspense and excitement came from “Traces,” a breathtaking performance by the French Canadian dance/acrobatic troupe 7 Fingers, which is currently in the midst of a U.S. tour. Canada’s got talent, too, it seems.”
–LA TIMES
“They were brilliant!”
–EXAMINER
“Incredible stuff that had all three judges on their feet.”
–THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
TRACES opens July 29 at Union Square Theatre.
Tickets are available via Ticketmaster.com or by calling 800-982-2787

Show at the Obelisco – Buenos Aires
By marion | May 27th, 2011This Saturday, May 28, the 7 Fingers are honored to perform at the Plaza de laRépublicà, at the foot of the Obelisco in Buenos Aires.
Each year, the city of Buenos Aires offers shows free of charge to its residents, amongwhich the largest is the show presented at the Obelisk. The city’s busiest boulevard will be closed to make way for a stage and some several thousand spectators at the legendaryObelisk, erected in 1936.
This year marks the event’s first ever showing of circus arts, which will take the form of a show specially created for the occasion by the 7 Fingers.
Casa de Nadie (The House of Nobody) features the artists of PSY, the 7 Fingers show currently running in Buenos Aires’ Polo Circo Big Top. This special creation, directed by Fingers co-founder Gypsy Snider, explores the idea that nothing belongs to us individually and thatthe world is our common home. It addresses the conflict between the ego and the collective, between individualism and the group; and examines the eternal tensions that allow the evolution of our species.
8,000 seats have been already set up at the foot of the Obelisk!
The presentation is the third booking for the Fingers in Buenos Aires, and is a tremendous privilege for the Collective.
