Passagers

After a world premiere at TOHU in 2018 and a successful international tour, Passengers will be presented again in March 2023 with a new cast.

For the duration of a journey, strangers mingle in a train car. Within this window of time, they exist in a suspended reality. Reflections of their origins and embryos of their futures, they oscillate between regret and utopia. Inspired by the movement and transition of the journey, they tell their stories of escape and encounter. As the rhythm of the journey infuses the soundscape, revealing the contents of their luggage, they reveal themselves to the audience. Witnesses of the world that unfolds before their eyes and transforms them without their knowledge, they transform their compartment into a playground conducive to confidences. In line with the 7 Doigts' previous creations, Passagers is a celebration of the human being and a reflection on the importance and beauty of interpersonal relationships. Expanding the boundaries of the stage experience by combining dance, physical expression, acrobatics and projection, Les 7 Doigts invite the audience to meet characters who are like them. Once again, this creation is supported by original musical compositions and an international cast selected for its creative, multidisciplinary and collaborative spirit.
