The Montreal-based circus company Les 7 Doigts de la Main is known for creating “circus at a human scale.” Their fourth creation, PSY, merges acrobatics of the body with acrobatics of the mind and soul by delving into the rich and surreal underworld of the human psyche. By juxtaposing the mind’s darker issues with the invigorating and life-affirming language of circus arts, PSY brings out the humor, beauty, and commonality of our neuroses, all the while celebrating the power of the individual to surmount their ailments and selfimposed restrictions.
