Photo Coverage: In Rehearsal with 7 Fingers for CUISINE & CONFESSIONS

A Chorus Line for Foodies" is an apt description of Cuisine & Confessions, a New York premiere by the Montreal-based circus The 7 Fingers (Les 7 Doigts, the company behind the Tony Award- winningPippin), running April 11 - 16 at NYU Skirball. Go inside rehearsal with the cast below!

Cuisine & Confessions is a feast of circus arts flavored with theatrics mixed with cooking show and a dash of dance, served with side orders of pasta and banana bread and topped with original music. Audiences will get treated to à la carte tastings following the final course.

The Company's awe inspiring acrobats pay homage to the iconic comforts of the kitchen, sharing personal stories, memories and family recipes. The stage becomes a giant kitchen where conversation, tea and Nutella quickly turn into elaborately choreographed family meals. Food, kitchen appliances and recipes combine with elaborate choreography, jaw dropping acrobatics and pulsating music. video teaser

"Dramaturgy of Circus," a free pre-show panel discussion on Thursday, April 13 at 6:30 pm, will explore the process of transforming memories, feelings and storytelling into circus arts.

Cuisine & Confessions is directed by Shana Carroll and Sébastien Soldevila and produced by NYU Skirball. It is part of the second annual Tilt Kids Festival, a cultural event for families presented by the Cultural Services of the French Embassy and the French Institute Alliance Française (FIAF).
