carnation

About

A physical, human, sensual rollercoaster of large-scale immersive circus about hope in rebellion.

World-class circus, live music and bold cinematic imagery collide in a charged, immersive big top experience, created and directed by Firenza Guidi (SABOTAGE, 2024).

Blending humour, heart and real risk, carnation dives head first into rebellion, resistance and hope in turbulent times, channelling twentieth century dystopian fiction to speak clearly to the world we’re living in now.

With 40 years at the forefront of UK contemporary circus, NoFit State continues to push the artform in exciting new directions; always making bold, daring, accessible work for audiences of all ages who would rather step into the unknown than watch from the sidelines.

'Once inside the big top, you are enveloped in a world of magic.' The Guardian
