NoFit State Circus’ Sabotage is back in Bristol

After Sabotage’s success in the city last year, NoFit State Circus return to Bristol with three exciting productions this Spring. 

NoFit State are back in St Pauls, where they will perform their Big Top extravaganza Sabotage one last time for the people of Bristol. They are using the same location to create an exciting new outdoor production, Bamboo, and have a collaborative performance with Welsh National Opera, Death in Venice, coming to the Bristol Hippodrome. 

If you saw Sabotage last year, join NoFit State again as they return with an enlarged cast and new production elements. If you didn't see this 'awe-inspiring' show in 2023, discover this energising and uplifting circus spectacular from 18 May - 2 June. With extraordinary large scale-production elements, original live music, breath-taking circus, stunning imagery and a theatrical feel all in the NoFit State signature style. Tickets are on sale now and selling fast with just 11 performances in Bristol this year.

Bamboo is a spectacular new high-impact, high-skill outdoor circus production using only bamboo and human bodies – a meaningful performance with live music, comedy, and amazing feats of strength and agility on an improbable bamboo playground. It is a NoFit State production directed by Mish Weaver, in collaboration with Orit Azaz and Imagineer Productions, currently in creation in Bristol. Local Bristol residents will be among the first to see the new production and be invited to enjoy a preview before it sets off to tour festivals and towns across the UK and Europe this year.

Welsh National Opera’s brand-new production of Britten’s Death in Venice, staged in collaboration with NoFit State, comes to the Bristol Hippodrome on 27 April following rave critical reviews. SABOTAGE director Firenza Guidi is the circus Director for Death in Venice, which brings dramatic circus skills together with outstanding opera to tell the story of a writer tortured by his own thoughts, and battling his own desire.
