"A love letter to city and the human body"
San Francisco Chronicle
"If it were possible to actually see the heart of San Francisco, it might look like the beautifully diverse group of awe-inspiring acrobats bouncing around the stage in Dear San Francisco: A High-Flying Love Story"
Theater Dogs
“There couldn’t be a better time for Dear San Francisco”
"It’s hard not to smile, gasp, clap, or drop your mask-covered jaw in amazement."
"Explosive–street-smart rough and street-smart sexy... they are creating their own legacy"
Culture Vulture
"This living, breathing love letter of a show finds joy in every leap, razzle-dazzle in every flip and absolute joy in every moment."

"Acrobats take over Club Fugazi with strength, grace and glee"
“Bursts with warmth…capture(s) the spirit and resilience of San Francisco”
San Francisco Examiner
Dear San Francisco invite les habitants et les visiteurs à un voyage à couper le souffle à travers l'essence et le mythe qui ont gravé San Francisco de manière indélébile dans notre imaginaire collectif.
De la ruée vers l'or au tremblement de terre de 1906, en passant par le "Summer of Love" et le mystérieux brouillard, San Francisco prend vie de façon saisissante dans un spectacle hommage à la beauté époustouflante de la ville, à ses personnages légendaires et à son étonnante résilience.
Nous sommes impatients de vous accueillir au Club Fugazi !
Club Fugazi has become a jazz and poetry cabaret, but one where performers read stirring lines from the Beats before diving through a dangling hoop, each acrobat zhushing the twists and turns of the jump with his, her or their unique showmanship and aura.
In another moment, the freshly renovated North Beach venue has morphed into a playground for a human with insect capabilities, as one performer bops along the interior perimeter of the gleaming white proscenium — up the wall, then upside down, supported by his castmates....
If it were possible to actually see the heart of San Francisco, it might look like the beautifully diverse group of awe-inspiring acrobats bouncing around the stage in Dear San Francisco: A High-Flying Love Story. And this is not just any stage: this is Club Fugazi, the storied North Beach theater built in 1913 where Beach Blanket Babylon ran for most of its nearly five-decade run....
Club Fugazi is back — filled with nine sexy acrobats diving through hoops, sliding down poles, standing on top of each other, bouncing off a teeterboard, and, as the name of their show declares, soaring through the air.
“Dear San Francisco: A High-Flying Love Story” features The 7 Fingers contemporary circus troupe from Canada in the North Beach theater where, for decades, “Beach Blanket Babylon” delighted audiences with goofy songs and huge headgear until it closed in 2019....
