Want to head to the circus next week? Really, we’re not kidding! The circus is coming to Urbana. 
Les 7, a human circus from Canada, graces the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts stage for two nights – Tuesday, March 14 and Wednesday, March 15. And we have tickets you can win to take your family(more on that below).
This seven-member circus troupe from Québec, founded in 2002, uses over 100 years of collective performance experience to concoct imaginative and immersive recipes for sparkling, athletic theatrics.
Its name is a twist on a French idiom (“the five fingers of the hand”), which is used to describe distinct parts united tightly, moving in coordination towards one common goal. In Cuisine & Confessions, deep associations with smell, taste, and life around the kitchen table are stirred into acrobatic flights, mixed with dance and a dash of rock music, and served up with take-home banana bread (really!) for an undeniably unforgettable experience of circus-style storytelling through food.
Tickets cost $38 for adults and $10 for youth high school and younger, and are available online.
Les 7 doigts de la main: Cuisine & Confessions is recommended for ages six and up. This performance will last approximately 90 minutes with no intermission.
Here is a fun video to get a sense of the show.
