Fresh from their breakout performance on the NBC TV show America's Got Talent, the six men and one woman of Traces burst onto stage, tossing each other in the air, swinging on poles and dancing in rhythm to thumping tunes. Set to the music of Radiohead, VAST, Blackalicious, and more, Traces features French-Canadian group 7 Fingers in a high-energy acrobatic circus. Each performer's personality comes to life through funny spoken tidbits, tender dances or sweet musical solos, combined with physical feats such as diving through hoops, doing a headstand on a stack of chairs or spinning in a giant metal wheel. A completely unique -- and personal -- circus, The New York Times calls Traces "a fix of pure urban adrenaline."

Extreme talent, great idea to humanize the acrobats. Love the showcasing of each acrobat's multiple talents, adding spoken humor, revealing their personalities. The beginning's a bit slow - lame basketball-throwing skit included. A little overly indulgent too - we don't need to hear personal factoids repeated in multiple skits. And making that poor guy sing after doing his amazing acrobatic solo act? Why? It wasn't a great song and he was out of breath - what was the point? Took my 8-year old nephew and it was totally appropriate, plus he LOVED it.

The performers are obviously a talented group of individuals. It was nice to see such pure talent not hiding behind makeup, over the top costumes, etc. The acrobatic feats were nothing shy of amazing. It got too slow in parts and the producers tried way too hard to shove artsy down our throats. The artsy factor comes through perfectly with the lack of costumes, Tou don't need long unrelated diatribes to establish 'artistic integrity'.

I was spellbound from the beginning to the end of this performance. It was a wonder and a joy to behold. Such physical grace, powerful, amazing and astounding. An artform of great gymnastics, strength and stamina. Extraordinary to watch bodies in a dance as they circled like gears in motion, artful and in perfect synchronization. Traces is a must see.

If you've never seen anything by Cirque du Soleil, you might be amazed by this show. It's standard circus tricks presented with a very hip soundtrack in an interesting setting. The clowning was standard "Cirque" with ingratiating dialogue presented directly to the audience. There is no question that the artists are very talented, but other than the hip quality of the presentation, it was nothing new for me.

Nonstop action with amazing acrobatic feats! Not the level of grandeur you get with Cirque du Soleil shows, but in my opinion this is better. It's raw and original...no fancy props or costumes, just pure talent. And you connect with the 7 awesome performers. I loved that we learned a little about each one and each had numerous talents. Even though our seats were way too close to the stage (2nd row), it gave me a much deeper appreciation for the sheer talent and physical abilities of each performer...the heights that they were soaring to from the ground!
Show was filled with great music, humor and emotional content as well. After 90 minutes, I left wanting more.
Two thumbs up!

This was a very entertaining event. We brought children with us - ages 4-14 and they were all captivated. It's more circus/acrobatic show than traditional dance. Very talented individuals - I would highly recommend at the discounted ticket rate ($50 or less). If you pay full price, you may feel a little like you didn't get the full broadway experience. It's raw and minimalistic.

I loved Traces, every minute of it. It is so creative and so personal. It is a combination of Blue Man group (creative and interactive), Cirque de So-lei (a bunch of acrobats came from there), and Pilobolus (contemporary dance and acrobatics). You will sit there in awe, smiling, applauding the entire time. I also love goldstar with its reviews and great pricing.

WOW, were we ever blown away. The most fun 90 minutes we have spent in a long time! These multi-talented, funny, gorgeous young people spun a web around our hearts. The entire audience was enthralled. For days afterwards we discussed which were our top favourite moments...mine was Valerie reading a book in every position and on every surface of a barcalounger. But then there was the fellow with the giant steel ring...and then there was the amazing tumbling...and then there were the skateboards...and on and on and on!

My family really enjoyed the show. Being a former gymnast, I really appreciate the talent and hard work that goes into a performance like this but to be able to play music, sing and act goes beyond just being talented. The cast was engaging and each had a bit of something different to offer. I highly recommend this show for people of all ages. It will make your jaw drop and gasp out loud. My only recommendation is to try to sit back from the stage a bit. We were in the fourth row and couldn't take all of it in at once because we were actually too close.

Traces was amazing. This show was breathtaking, funny, interactive and an extremely heart pumping experience. I took my mother along along for the ride, that was her Christmas gift. At the age of 69, she was at the edge of her seat. She can't stop thanking me for the treat. The following morning, she called and told me that she just had her best night sleep in a long time. My wife was my date for the evening, whom happen to be 6 months pregnant had a blast. I think even my unborn baby girl had a blast, cause she couldn't stop kicking lol.....
Overall, we had a great experience. The performers were excellent, and crazy... Crazy talented, and they were surprisingly much younger than I thought. The staff was very professional. The venue was very clean and neat. Without a doubt, this is a must see.

Part circus and part dance, Traces is 1 1/2 hours of great fun. The performers are first rate and engaging, the music is fresh - if somewhat over-loud, and the routines are really, really good.

This show was incredible! I would see it again and again. Small theater, tickets are extremely reasonable, and the talent and strength of the performers is unbelievable. Good for all ages! The entire audience was going wild. Totally will not disappoint.

I have seen thsi show 2 times this year. It was even better the second time. This show is literally the best kept secret in New York. The acrobatics are top notch, the cast is sexy and vibrant, the music is hip and awesome, and there are no weak segments. It is alos one of the cheapest shows you can buy tix to, and there are no bad seats in the house. The Goldstar tickets I bought were front row Center!! what an awesome deal!

My grandchildren ages 4 and 7 had the best time. My granddaughter,age 4 was so hysterical watching Veronique on the chair trying to read a book that everyone around her became hysterical. My grandson liked so many of them that he couldn't decide on his favorite. The audience had a wonderful time as did we.

Description

7 Fingers (Les 7 doigts de la main) are an astonishingly talented young French Canadian company who have pioneered a whole new brand of circus. Their show Traces was a runaway hit at the Edinburgh Festival in 2007.

The name of the Montreal-based performance group that gave life to Traces – 7 Fingers – is a twist on a French idiom ("the five fingers of the hand") used to describe distinct, individual parts moving in coordination towards one common goal. Founded in Montreal by seven seasoned circus performers, and now with five touring shows, this collective has charmed audiences across the globe with their strikingly human and unprecedented multi-disciplinary approach to circus, moving their distinct parts towards common artistic goals.

Traces amazes with high-energy urban acrobatics that are at once poetic and explosive, humorous and thoughtful. Combining traditional acrobatic forms with street elements such as skateboarding and basketball, mixed in with some theatre and contemporary dance, it surprises, awes and delights at every turn.

The troupe of seven performers delivers gravity-defying displays of skill which include traditional Chinese acrobatics such as balancing on each other's heads, tumbling through hoops, and scaling giant poles without the use of hands.
