The reviews are in for Passengers at the Perelman Performing Arts Center (PAC) NYC, which comes to the downtown venue from Montreal's physical theatre troupe The 7 Fingers. The production began performances June 12, and will run through June 29.
In it, passengers aboard a train don’t sit in silence staring at their phones—they express their hopes and dreams through an astonishing blend of cirque, music, and dance, telling human stories with superhuman skills.
Passengers is written, choreographed, and directed by Shana Carroll, and was created in collaboration with Sereno Aguilar Izzo, Louis Joyal, Maude Parent, Samuel Renaud, Sabine Van Rensburg, Brin Schoellkopf, Freyja Wild, Conor Wild, who were in the original production. The cast includes Sereno Aguilar Izzo, Kaisha Dessalines-Wright, Marie-Christine Fournier, Eduardo DeAzevedo Grillo, Marco Ingaramo, Anna Kichtchenko, Maude Parent, Michael Patterson, Pablo Pramparo, Méliejade Tremblay-Bouchard, and Will Underwood.
