Seven Fingers Returns to ArtsEmerson with ‘Passengers’

Cast of Seven Fingers’ ‘Passengers’

By Mike Hoban

‘Passengers’ – U.S. Premiere presented by ArtsEmerson at the Emerson Cutler Majestic Theatre, 219 Tremont Street Boston. September 25 through October 13

ArtsEmerson will be bringing back Montreal’s The Seven Fingers to open their 10th season next week, with the circus arts troupe presenting the U.S. Premiere of ‘Passengers’. The piece will explore “our fascination with trains both in terms of nostalgic dreams of another era or another land, and as metaphor for the twists and turns of life among fateful encounters with strangers.” Theater Mirror had the chance to speak with a pair of the troupe’s newest performers recently, aerial silks and trapeze artist Sabine van Rensburg and tight wire artist Brin Schoellkopf – both of whom will be making their debut with the arts collective with this show.
