THE ATTIC
Sept 5 – Oct 4, 2026
“The Goodman premieres The 7 Fingers’
“The Attic
Things I’ve Seen While Lying On My Back”
Written, Directed and Choreographed by Shana Carroll
The 7 Fingers is “pulse-raising magic” (The New York Times).
From the primal vista of her childhood bedroom springs Shana Carroll’s wildly imaginative, ground-breaking memoir that takes theater to new heights. Inspired by the Tony Award-nominated former trapezist’s mesmerizing life story, a company of fearless performers transforms memory into daring aerial feats that are as moving as they are breathtaking. In the air, on the floor and from the heart, Montreal’s multidisciplinary creative collective, The 7 Fingers, brings its “thrillingly modern brand of circus” (Time Out New York) to The Goodman in this moving new work that embraces the fear and courage of being human.
