Toronto Premieres 'Traces' Begins October 17 at Panasonic

The 7 Fingers / Les 7 Doigts de la Main blends circus skills and a jet-fueled urban street energy, into their premiere Traces, which explores new artistic territory combining stunning acrobatics and effortlessly using anything and everything that, literally, comes to hand.

"Time is running out.  The clock is counting down towards an unknown fate.  The performers are thrown onto the stage straight from a whirlwind catastrophe.  The space has a junkyard feel with props built from scraps of wood and spare parts.  Live drawings project an ever-changing décor on the backdrop via an old classroom overhead projector.  A standard basketball is used as a dance partner; a homemade grand piano is played; street skateboard is performed in the style of an old Hollywood musical.  A swinging microphone captures each breath.  Traces will leave you breathless and wanting more, just as time runs out," state press notes.

The 7 Fingers / Les 7 Doigts de la Main presents Traces at Panasonic Theatre, 651 Yonge Street, Toronto.
