This chapter explores some of the implicit and explicit cross-border collaborations and circulations that characterize the contemporary North American circus scene, notably focusing on Les 7 doigts de la main (7 Fingers), a collective based in Montreal made up of artists from Québec, France and America. There is a long history of cross-border circus activity between Québec and the U.S., from Rickett’s early modern circus touring Québec in the late 1700s and Ringling Brothers’ attracting Canadian talent to the U.S., to Québec exporting and imposing its artistic, acrobatics-based “new” circus through the success of Cirque du Soleil and other touring companies. This chapter concentrates on some lesser-known stories and connections bridging Montreal, San Francisco, and New York, as experienced by the 7 Fingers. Having deep roots in both Montreal and San Francisco, the collective has constantly been juggling multiple affiliations, affection, and cultural codes. The artistic directors are more than ever aware of their generative role with the next generations of North American circus performers on both sides of the border.
