Another full-on, boisterous, and fearless performance with the NoFit State Circus signature style.
NoFit State Circus are BACK at Central Forest Park for another outstanding performance nearly 10 years after their Stoke-on-Trent debut with Appetite in 2013.
Were you wowed by Bianco? Captivated by Lexicon? To celebrate Appetite’s 10th birthday, we’re excited to welcome NoFit State back a decade later with their newest show Sabotage performing from Thursday 23 June to Sunday 10 July.
Tickets can be purchased online here, by going to the New Vic Theatre box office or by calling the box office at 01782 717962.

Introducing SABOTAGE
SABOTAGE brings a darker, grittier, and more subversive edge to our trademark large scale contemporary circus spectacular. Back in the Big Top with incredible new acts, original music, new apparatus and a more theatrical feel, SABOTAGE challenges the status quo.
This is an energising, uplifting and socially relevant contemporary circus production. Our personal journeys bring us to this place. Our struggles, and privileges, have shaped that journey. And yet we find ourselves in the common meeting ground of the circus tent, with the common language of circus. SABOTAGE explores our separation, and our belonging. Saboteurs stand out. They stand up. They challenge the establishment. They are heard.
SABOTAGE is grown up circus, that is not unsuitable for children.
Directed by Firenza Guidi.

About NoFit State
We celebrate the contradictions within ourselves and our work
Creating beautifulcarnage
And organisedanarchy
We embrace the human condition in all its dirtiness.
Created in 1986 by five friends, NoFit State is a community bound by a common passion and a collective journey. We work, travel, and love together, we put our lives in each other’s hands daily and it is this trust, this bond and this togetherness that gives our work its unique heart, soul and spirit.
We make stories without narrative – creating work that is poignant and poetic. We use largescale imagery, circus, live music, movement and innovative design. We invent worlds where the boundaries between the real and the imaginary, the possible and the impossible, become blurred, where the frontiers between artists and audiences are broken, where nothing is hidden and everything revealed.
We create work on all scales and deliver community and participatory projects alongside our professional performances. We hope to inspire our audience to step out of themselves for a moment, have their dreams fed, their spirits nourished and for them to leave uplifted and perhaps stirred to challenge themselves and their world.
