For this very special production, whose themes touch me intimately, it was essential for me to entrust it to performers with the depth, maturity and creative tools necessary to approach this material and take it to heights that I could only have imagined. Bringing together artists I have worked with for almost 17 years and others I have just discovered, their complicity and the beauty they exude together on stage is simply breathtaking. \u00bb Shana Carroll<\/p>\n<p>On the bed in the attic bedroom of her childhood, a woman revisits her life through the memories and dreams that inhabit her. The walls expand, the beams become a playground, between reality and imagination, past and desire. Inspired by her career as a trapeze artist, Shana Carroll&rsquo;s work unfolds from a simple gesture: looking upwards. From dust in the light to shooting stars, from the trapeze to hospital machines, each image shifts the room into a new space. In the air as on the ground, The 7 Fingers circulate memories from one body to another. The room becomes a moving space, crossed by dance, the circus and memory.<\/p>\n<p>The Attic: the things I saw lying on my back.
