TRACES, the high energy acrobatic spectacle which blends circus, physical theater, music and dance will make its national late night TV debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday February 7th on ABC. TRACES will join host Jimmy Kimmel in his late night studio on Hollywood Boulevard, just about a mile down the street where TRACES is currently wowing audiences nightly in Los Angeles. Jimmy Kimmel Live! airs at midnight nightly on ABC. TRACES is currently playing at The Ricardo Montalbán Theatre through February 13, 2011 and will open in Denver at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts in March.

About TRACES

TRACES takes the audience into an exhilarating world where creation flourishes, relationships are real, emotions are raw, and you never know what's coming next. These versatile artists don't just engage in high-risk acrobatics, they bare their souls through music, dance, drawing, and spoken word - as they attempt to leave a lasting mark: traces of who they are.

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.
