Traces arrives for a second run at Peacock Theatre

Traces finally gets another long-awaited West End run at Peacock Theatre! We're incredibly excited about this, not least because their most recent piece, Psy, was hands down one of the best shows of the spring.

Traces is a labour of love from Le 7 Doigts de la Main, the five-piece physical theatre company at the forefront of circus theatre. It ran in 2009 to massive critical acclaim and this year's run at Peacock Theatre is guaranteed to sell out fast.

Traces is a superb display of synchronicity and unexpected humour. What's most impressive is the awe-inspiring display of acrobatics and skillful manipulation of the human body that sees the performers pull off some seemingly impossible moves. Le 7 Doigts de la Main expertly connect with their audience by producing immensely suspenseful sequences and revealing nuggets of their real lives through film clips, narration and a little music.

The allure of Le 7 Doigts de la Main is how utterly casual they are about their jaw-dropping show. Expect something spooky, intangible and utterly engrossing from Traces.

Oh, and here's more good news: Spoonfed users get 50% off tickets. Whoop!
