Seattle Rep is thrilled to present "Duel Reality," a Shakespeare-inspired spectacle by the internationally acclaimed circus troupe, The 7 Fingers. This breathtaking event is set to take place from May 29 to June 22, 2025, at the Bagley Wright Theater, promising audiences an unforgettable experience.

"Duel Reality" brings to life the age-old feud between the Montagues and Capulets through an epic competition of acrobatic talent and skill. Audiences will be captivated as they cheer on these two feuding families, witnessing a story of love, honor, and defiance. At the heart of this spectacle is a pair of star-crossed lovers who dare to defy death and their families in their quest to be together. Adapted from Shakespeare’s "Romeo and Juliet," The 7 Fingers infuse their signature blend of incredible physical feats, theatricality, and music to narrate this timeless tale.

This performance is recommended for ages 7 and up, making it a perfect outing for school-aged kids capable of enjoying a 90-minute show without an intermission. Attendees should be aware of the use of theatrical haze and two brief moments of flashing lights during the performance.

The event schedule includes preview performances from May 29 to June 3, with the official opening night on June 4. Special event nights include a Mask Required performance on June 8, Teen Night on June 13, Open Captions on June 12, and ASL & Audio Described performance on June 21.

Directed and choreographed by Shana Carroll, "Duel Reality" is more than just a show; it's an extraordinary display of balance, control, musicality, and talent that has been lauded by Theatre Weekly as a "mind-blowing" act.
