Sequence 8 Will Fly Into New York City Center Next Spring

Roll up, roll up to City Center! Séquence 8, the internationally acclaimed nouveau cirque spectacular, will make its New York premiere next spring. The show will begin performances at New York City Center on April 16, 2015 and play through April 26.

From the inventive circus company behind Broadway’s Pippin comes Séquence 8, a nouveau cirque show that explores human emotions so intense that they explode into highflying acrobatics. Starring eight performers from the Montreal-based Les 7 Doigts de la Main (The 7 Fingers), the emotionally intimate Séquence 8 redefines the meaning of the word “circus” through a unique fusion of acrobatics, hip-hop, humor and propulsive music.

Directed by two of the company’s seven artistic directors, Shana Carroll and Sébastien Soldevila, Séquence 8 premiered in Lyon, France in 2012, and has been produced in 15 countries worldwide. The production marks the company’s first full-length work for New York audiences since 2011’s Traces.
