Read It! Circus performers do not like to make mistakes. But a Montreal-based troupe called "7 Fingers" is different. They do not mind making mistakes. They think that an audience gets more of a thrill if a performer fails and then tries again. 7 Fingers performs traditional acrobatic acts such as juggling and hoop jumping. They spin in a giant wheel. They combine these tricks with skateboarding. Performers even introduce themselves to the audience between stunts. They wear no costumes or makeup. Instead, the focus is on human performance. Therefore, no animals are in the show.
