NoFit State Circus present tabú_standing on the edge of the wilderness

The award winning critically acclaimed NoFit State Circus will tour in 2008 with their new show tabú. NoFit State is the leading UK contemporary circus company and their last production Immortal achieved cult status on the European circus circuit and won prestigious awards at several international festivals.

Combining cutting edge circus, performance, live music, and video the audience enter the giant silver spaceship big top and become immersed in a promenade circus event taking place above around and amongst the audience in an explosion of furious fun and choreographed mayhem.

Fear is the most widespread, undetected, un-acknowledged of taboos. It is only when a person with no fear appears in our life that we can go back to living

tabú poses the question: why is it that humans choose the dark side? Or is it the dark side that chooses us?

tabú is a new journey and exploration into the darker side of being. It isn’t a freak show, it isn’t voyeurism. It is the tissue we are made of and which like death itself, we cannot fully grasp, let alone explain

Leave your circus preconceptions behind and join us for a turbo charged, ninety-minute, life changing roller coaster ride.

tabú is funded by Art Councils of England and Wales and the PRS Foundation
