Montreal – The 7 Fingers have been working with the\nMoscow Musical Theatre since 2013. The Russian organization hosted the\ncollective’s signature shows – Traces <\/em>in\n2013 and Cuisine & Confessions<\/em> in\n2015 – before entrusting the company with the staging of The Circus Princess<\/em>, a contemporary version of the 1920\u2019s cult\noperetta. The show has since been presented more than 270 times, its most\nrecent run having played from November 2 to December 8, 2019. Further\nperformances are planned for several more years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside signature shows still being presented in\nMoscow (Passengers <\/em>in January 2019),\na new project is being launched. The new show, a musical, will be an original\nwork directed by The 7 Fingers co-artistic director, S\u00e9bastien Soldevila.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It is the story of a young girl who suddenly\nfinds herself propelled on stage following a reality show. The aspiring\nperformer is ready to fly too close to the sun, willing to be a star at any\ncost,\u201d explains Sebastian. “I am fortunate to be surrounded by an\nextraordinary team who know me by heart,” he adds. The artistic team will\ninclude several Montrealers, most notably composer Maxim Lepage, with whom\nS\u00e9bastien collaborated on The Last\nChapter<\/em> presented in Sharjah earlier this year, choreographer Genevi\u00e8ve\nDorion-Coupal (The Circus Princess, The\nLast Chapter<\/em>), and lighting designer \u00c9ric Champoux (Cuisine & Confessions, Passengers, The Last Chapter,<\/em> The Circus Princess<\/em>). As with The Circus Princess<\/em>, the poster for the\nnew production will be designed by the Montreal firm Compagnie et Cie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An initial two-week creative workshop was held in\nSeptember in the Studios of The 7 Fingers. The remaining production rehearsals\nwill take place this fall with Russian artists in Moscow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The show will be part of the Muscovite theatre’s\nrepertoire and will be presented approximately 80 times a year for a minimum\nduration of three years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor The 7 Fingers, this project reaffirms a long-term\nrelationship with a leading partner, the Moscow Musical Theater, and is a clear\nstep forward in building loyalty among Muscovite audiences,\u201d said Nassib El-Husseini,\nexecutive director of The 7 Fingers. “I am confident that this project\nwill reach Montreal audiences in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
