Traces June 6, 2012

Les 7 Doigts de la Main
Directed and choreographed by Shana Carroll and Gypsy Snider

Described as “a fix of pure urban adrenaline…mad, pulse-raising magic” by The New York Times, Traces is a singular experience—both poetic and explosive, surprisingly intimate with a powerful undercurrent of raw, unbridled energy. Performed by the seven wickedly gifted and winning members of the Quebec-based troupe Les 7 Doigts de la Main (7 Fingers), this cabaret-circus deftly weaves together snippets of the performers’ personal narratives while offering up astonishing acrobatic maneuvers that hardly seem humanly possible. Set to an eclectic score pulsing with kinetic energy and spirit, this powerfully uplifting piece is a celebration of the performers’ individuality as well as an ultimate affirmation of life and all its possibilities.

For adults and children 8 and older.
