I've seen 7 Doigts four times, and this is one of the best.
The opening male solo trapeze, the crowded street scene, the group club throwing were great, and everything an acrobatic circus should be; and the German wheel with tabla music, the male adagios, and the 'husband and wife' vertical pole dancers that were jaw-droppingly amazing, physically beautiful, and a bt scary.
Like the show theme, it suffered a bit from multiple personality disorder; there were some very weak bits which I usually enjoy; the hand balance, the vertical rope.
Not being bilingual, I missed a lot of the banter, and the knife-throwing was really weak, so i would give it 4++.
I would love to see some silk dancers or more tumbling.But that's nit-picking.
7 Doigts are amazing! go twice and bring your friends!

Favourite moment: When the German wheel, male adagios and the 'husband and wife' vertical dancers made me too scared to applaud in cause they lost concentration. Wow! @
