Traces<br />

Canada<br />

Traces is poetic and explosive, mixing acrobatic<br />

forms with street elements such as skateboarding<br />

and basketball, <strong>the</strong>atre and contemporary<br />

dance, ensuring a fix of pure urban adrenaline<br />

that is electric and immensely entertaining.<br />

The Traces s<strong>to</strong>ry is <strong>to</strong>ld through music, song,<br />

dance, speech, illustration, and high-risk<br />

acrobatics. The characters use every mode<br />

of expression available <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>m, hoping <strong>to</strong><br />

leave <strong>the</strong>ir traces as best <strong>the</strong>y can.<br />

As <strong>the</strong> s<strong>to</strong>ries are <strong>to</strong>ld of <strong>the</strong>ir past and <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

strengths and weaknesses, <strong>the</strong> familiarity between<br />

<strong>the</strong> seven performers and <strong>the</strong> audience grows.<br />

At its heart, Traces celebrates <strong>the</strong>ir particular<br />

bond and talents; <strong>the</strong>ir risk-taking; <strong>the</strong> ultimate<br />

affirmation of life; and <strong>the</strong>ir unbridled energy, proof<br />

of a collective pounding pulse. With eye-popping<br />

athleticism, fluid grace and chiselled physiques,<br />

Traces delights and surprises at every turn.<br />
