LOFT

"A gift from the god of performing arts!" Le Devoir / Kanada

"LOFT" by the 7 fingers

Starting on 23.02.2012

What do you call a "flat share" in the language of acrobatics? "LOFT"! As in every flat share, the tenants laugh and discuss, dream and philosophise, but as you can expect everything is a little bit different with these first-class artists: A curtain is used to performed elegant aerial acrobatics, a floor lamp quickly transforms into a dance partner and a fruit basket offers an abundance of juggling utensils...

Get ready for several artistic surprises and a great deal of humour, as the highly entertaining show from the Canadian company "the 7 fingers" provides it all.

With their virtually inexhaustible ingenuity, the former Cirque du Soleil artists have already won several international awards. At the "Festival Mondial du Cirque de Demain" in Paris, the largest festival for contemporary circus, the "7 fingers" took home gold several times. Their innovative productions have garnered critical acclaim. In 2011, TIME magazine selected their act "Traces" as the one of the ten best shows and they were invited to American smash hit TV series "America’s got Talent", where they left the jury speechless.

Ingenious, original, spectacular and a little bit crazy – come join us in by far the most extraordinary flat share of all times.

Berliner Zeitung / Germany

"One of the most brilliant shows of the decade"
Arts de la Piste / France

"A visually rich evening of entertainment, wonder, and a bit of intellectualism….. Call it fusion cuisine for the eyes and ears, fun and complex"
San Francisco Weekly / USA

"The gently unorthodox, intelligently wry and breathtakingly skillful wonder of the “new circus” is called The 7 fingers!"
San Francisco Chronicle / USA

Born in Moscow, Russia, Anna was encouraged to explore circus from a young age. After immigrating with her family to Toronto, Canada, Anna’s passion for circus became more serious, and she headed, at the age of 14, to Montreal, leaving her family behind to devote herself to what she discovered to be all at once an accessible art form, a physical and creative outlet, and her place. Anna spent six years at the National Circus School of Montreal, developing an approach to her specialty, aerial tissu loop, and acquiring numerous circus skills, including contorsion and hula hoops. She has performed in “Dummy” at the German cabaret GOP; the “Eclyps” Show in Shawinigan, Quebec; Canada’s Turbo Fest; in special projects such a music video with Yann Pereau and the Daily Planet TV show on the Discovery Channel; and in special events with Les 7 doigts de la main, Cirque Eloize, Cirque du Soleil, Cirque Fantastic, and many more.

Isis started dancing at age two. Throughout her childhood, she competed in numerous dance festivals and performed in local musical productions, as well as training as a gymnast. At ten, she was named regional champion in gymnastics. However, it was in duo work, in acrobatic gymnastics and then in circus, that she found her true passion. Several times British champion in both Women’s Pairs and Mixed Pairs, Isis competed internationally with the British national team for three years including the European Championships in 2005 where the team came 3rd. She ran off to circus school at age 18, training in hand to hand acrobatics and banquine with partner Nathan at the Circus Space, London. Performing credits include the 'Crece' project in Spain, the Circa Festival in France, Latitude Festival in the UK, a feature Will Young's music video 'Jealousy', modeling for the Online Circus Dictionary, and numerous shows and events across the world.

Were he not a world class diabolo performer, Jacob, a native of the Boston area, would likely still be analyzing moving objects in one way or another. A recent graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Jacob earned his BA in physics between serious juggling jaunts across the world. By the time he had his degree, his performing credits included theEdinburgh Fringe, the Kristallpalast Newcomer Show, and juggling and street shows in the US, Canada, Israel, France, Germany, Norway, and the UK. As a child, Jacob was already based in unicyling and juggling from his father--a circus enthusiast--by the time he entered the children’s troupe Circus Smirkus at age 10. At 18, he and his partner and brother Nate Sharpe took home the Circus Kobzov, Circus Knie, and Jury prizes from the Festival Mondiale Cirque de Demain in Paris. Jacob is also an avid writer, with a particular knack for stand up comedy.

The young athlete enrolled in competitive gymnastics at age five and quickly advanced to the National Open level. Kaelyn moved to Montreal at 18 and discovered a passion for circus. Upon graduating from the National Circus School, her dynamic style on her inventive apparatus, the double bar trapeze, has led her to perform in Asia, Europe, and North and South America.

Kaleen’s unique performance expertise has brought her to the stage for events and collective creations worldwide. Drawn to the arts from a young age, Kaleen took rapidly to painting, drawing, and exploring circus as a young child in rural New Hampshire. Her interest in circus was furthered in a school program and with the youth troupe Circus Smirkus. She performed in group and solo acts as well as in duos with her twin sister, Kerren. Kaleen went on to become the first woman to graduate with a specialty in aerial straps at the National Circus School of Montreal. From 2007 until 2010, Kaleen worked in Cirque du Soleil’s resident show, ZAIA, in Macao, China, where she played the principal character and performed a duo number in aerial straps 22 meters above the ground. She has performed in almost every continent and recently received a special prize at the WuQiao International Acrobatic Festival in China. Kaleen worked previously with the 7 Fingers on the Fibonacci Project in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Interested in everything that happens on stage, 10-year-old Olaf joined the youth circus "Quamboni" in his hometown of Hagen, Germany. During his time there he performed a variety of acts, from juggling while walking on a barrel, to sword dancing, to hand to hand, aerial hoop, hula hoop, and flying trapeze. After attending university for a mere three days to study geography and sociology, his circus addiction took hold of him and he decided to move to Canada to study hand balancing at the National Circus School of Montreal. Olaf has since been touring the world, performing with Cirque du Soleil, Cirque Eloize, Roncalli's Apollo Variete, Palazzo Colombino, and Spiegelworld’s Absinthe, as well as with several previous productions with Les 7 doigts de la main, including LOFT, TRACES and PSY.
