Since taking the Edinburgh Festival by storm in 2007, followed by sell out seasons in London’s West End, New York, Paris and Montreal, award-winning TRACES tours the UK for the first time.

The ideal half term treat, TRACES is a high energy, dazzling display of urban acrobatics that combines traditional circus skills with basketball, skateboarding, a mix of street and contemporary dance, traditional theatre, humour and amazing audiovisual effects. Set to a soundtrack that includes hip-hop, rock and roll, blues and classical music, this infectious funky pioneering new brand of circus is a thrill-a-minute that will leave you begging for more.

The five ultra talented performers reveal snippets of their own personal stories throughout the show, drawing the audience in until the dramatic climax leaves them on the edge of their seats, willing them to pull off the seemingly impossible.


"They know now sensational they are - and if they don't, the spontaneous standing ovations they're getting should do the trick" DAILY TELEGRAPH

"Eye-poppingly good" EVENING STANDARD

"Mesmeric, spontaneous and unpretentious - these are guys you'd really like hanging out with" METRO

"A fantastic night out" MAGIC FM

"One of the most creative and inspiring pieces of entertainment I've ever witnessed" THE SUN
