Nofit State Circus returns to Pembrokesh­ire

-

WALES’ flagship circus company, NoFit State, are back in West Wales this summer with two exciting production­s.

SABOTAGE in Haverfordw­est in June and BAMBOO in Amroth and Cardigan in August.

The Company’s largescale Big Top show, SABOTAGE, which enjoyed its world premiere at the Pembrokesh­ire County Showground in 2022, is back at the showground from 13-30 June after touring the UK and Europe to rave reviews.

Expect exciting cast changes and extraordin­ary new production elements, original live music, breath-taking circus, stunning imagery and NoFit State’s signature theatrical feel.

Don’t miss the only Welsh dates on the SABOTAGE 2024 tour, in the county where it was first created.

SABOTAGE explores our separation, and our belonging. Saboteurs stand out. They stand up. They challenge the establishm­ent. They are heard.

“We’re overjoyed to be back in West Wales which feels like our second home, we have brought every show there in recent times and we love the communitie­s we meet there. To come three times this summer is really exciting for us, SABOTAGE and BAMBOO are both special shows, and we can’t wait to share them with you.”

Alison Woods, Executive Director, NoFit State.

BAMBOO is a spectacula­r new highimpact, high-skill outdoor circus production using only bamboo and human bodies. SPAN Arts present BAMBOO at National Trust Colby

Woodland Garden on 10 August, the show then moves to Cardigan Castle on 14 & 15 August, copromoted by Mwldan and Cardigan Castle.

BAMBOO is a meaningful, joyful performanc­e with live music, comedy and amazing feats of strength and agility. The show celebrates what’s possible when humans and the natural world trust each other and work in harmony.
