Powered by exhilarating acrobatics, choreography, spoken word, video projections, shadow play, and original music, “Dear San Francisco” invites locals and visitors alike on a heart-stopping romp through both the essence and the myth that has San Francisco indelibly etched on our collective imagination. From the Gold Rush and 1906 earthquake to the beat poetry and the mysterious fog, San Francisco comes vividly to life through a series of tableaus (acts) including hoop diving, Chinese pole, Korean plank, hand-balancing, juggling, and “hand-to-trap” (a form first created by Shana Carroll performed by an international cast of world-class acrobats. The acclaimed acrobatic “Dear San Francisco” is an intimate and immersive resident production from The 7 Fingers, one of the world’s leading contemporary circus arts companies. Created by Bay Area natives, The 7 Fingers co-founders Shana Carroll and Gypsy Snider, Dear San Francisco pays homage to the stunning beauty, storied characters, and astounding resilience of the City by the Bay. “Dear San Francisco is the result of a lifelong love affair with the city that continues to reinvent, redefine, and inspire awe,” said Snyder and Carroll in a joint statement. “A theatrical love letter of sorts, our hope is that this production will create a shining and welcoming light for all in the San Francisco Bay Area.”
