About Duel Reality

Duel Reality from The 7 Fingers, also known as Les 7 doigts de la main, makes their Center Theatre Group debut, featuring their signature electrifying—and endearing—mix of circus, theatre, illusion, music, and dance. The circus troupe's latest piece is an acrobatic tour-de-force for all ages inspired by the star-crossed tale of Romeo and Juliet.

This is Duel Reality, an elaborate and fast-paced mashup of Shakespeare's most famous love story and the intense world of competitive team sports. In the midst of the provocation and action, we catch a glimpse of our star-crossed lovers. Exhilaration and danger provide a thrilling backdrop to The 7 Fingers' one-of-a-kind daredevil theatrical extravaganza.
