The Old Globe Presents “Duel Reality”
The Old Globe is pleased to announce the cast and creative team for “Duel Reality,” a spectacular theatrical experience by The 7 Fingers and directed by Shana Carroll (The Old Globe’s Passengers, Alliance Theatre’s Water for Elephants). “Duel Reality”was originally produced and created with Virgin Voyages. The West Coast premiere begins performances July 6 and plays through August 4, 2024, with the opening on Thursday, July 11 on the Donald and Darlene Shiley Stage in the Old Globe Theatre, part of the Globe’s Conrad Prebys Theatre Center in San Diego’s Balboa Park. Tickets are available at www.TheOldGlobe.org.
The triumphant return of the company that brought Globe audiences last summer’s smash hit “Passengers.” Love, honor, and betrayal come to life through a blend of acrobatics, theatre, and music in this one-act romp perfect for all ages. Two feuding families engage in a battle of skill, each competition more daring than the last. While the two groups face off, cheered on by their side of the audience, a pair of star-crossed lovers struggles to escape the showdown. The exhilaration and danger of competition provide the thrilling backdrop to The 7 Fingers’s one-of-a-kind daredevil theatrical extravaganza.
“We are so thrilled to welcome Montreal’s Les 7 Doigts de la Main, or The 7 Fingers, back to the Globe,” said Erna Finci Viterbi Artistic Director Barry Edelstein. “Their visit last year with ‘Passengers’ delighted and amazed our audiences, and ‘Duel Reality’ is even more astounding. This show is fierce and passionate, and the brilliant circus work and daredevil acrobatics help tell a story that Globe audiences will recognize: two star-crossed lovers manage to connect even though the groups they belong to are sworn enemies. Yes, there’s a hint of ‘Romeo and Juliet’ in ‘Duel Reality,’ but it’s presented here in a way you’ve never seen before. Great for families and thrilling for lovers of visceral, physical entertainment, this show is a joy to have on our stage.”
The cast of artists include Daniela Corradi, Andreas De Ryck, Aerial Emery, Soen Geirnaert, Gerardo Gutiérrez, Michelle Hernandez, Marco Ingaramo, Kalani June, Einar Kling-Odencrants, Santiago Rivera Laugerud, Arata Urawa, and Danny Vrijsen.
