In a makeshift shelter, an unknown catastrophe waits outside the doors of tarp and gaffer tape. Seven characters have constructed a clubhouse to live to the fullest what they believe could be their last moments, hoping to leave nothing unsaid or undone. In the face of this impending disaster they have determined that creation is the only antidote to destruction.
This is Traces, a unique theatre experience created by the celebrated Quebecois group 7 Fingers. Founded in Montreal in 2002, 7 Fingers initial goal was to bring circus to a human scale. Traces uses music, song, dance, speech, illustration and high-risk acrobatics to tell its story. The characters use every mode of expression available to them, hoping to leave a lasting mark to leave their traces as best they can. Traces is poetic and explosive, humorous and thoughtful. Combining traditional acrobatic forms with street elements such as skateboarding and basketball, mixed in with some theatre and contemporary dance, it surprises, awes and delights at every turn.
