The 7 Fingers

Juicelog Fri 211207: Got some raspberries in this afternoon and had a go at cooking duck this afternoon. After lunch with me Pudz, we trekked up to the Roundhouse theatre to watch The 7 Fingers. This show combines some loopy comedy with a few Cirque de Soleil styled performance pieces (trapeze, aerial acrobatics, body contortions).

We were led to their seats by going through a refrigerator door on the main stage. Entering the auditorium tonight felt like we were entering a rave with the pulsating dance beats thumping away. 7 Fingers appeals to a wide age range, engages the viewers with some audience interaction, contains witty video clips and has a dope soundtrack supplied by the all singing beat-boxing DJ Pocket (who could be technically counted as the eighth finger). The show’s technical skills outweighs the artistic merit, and I don’t think they were able to piece together each of the fingers performance pieces so that it flowed smoothly. If you go and see this try and get seats that aren’t dead on centre facing the stage.
