Traces - Civic Theatre Newcastle 29 July - 1 August

Montreals Les 7 Doigts de la Main has taken the world by storm with its eccentric and intelligent contemporary circus-theatre.

With a deft humour these laid-back young circus artists somersault, contort, balance and catapult effortlessly around an urban backyard.

Then with a touching and straightforward honesty speak revealingly 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 morphs into Hollywood musical.

Life passes, it suggests, and we will disappear without trace, but while we are here we might as well fly and 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 Guardian (London)

The show was smashing, smooth, funny and ferocious The Gazette (Montreal)
