Montreal’s Les 7 Doigts de la Main (The 7 Fingers of the Hand) has stunned audiences around the world with its eccentric and intelligent contemporary circus-theatre. Its laid-back young artists somersault, contort, balance and catapult effortlessly around an urban backyard then engage with the audience by speaking openly about their lives and relationships, exploring notions of memory and survival. Live drawings form a spontaneous animated backdrop, a ‘homemade’ grand piano is played by every character and skateboarding transforms into Hollywood musical. Life passes, they suggest, and we will disappear without trace, but while we are here we might as well attempt the impossible.
“ Traces is a new style of acrobatic dance theatre,… wistful and dynamic, sexy .... The last 30 minutes is so thrilling, it will surely make an entire generation run away and join the circus." - The Gardian
