CUTTING EDGE CIRCUS COMING TO NEWPORT THIS SPRING     

CUTTING EDGE CIRCUS COMING TO NEWPORT THIS SPRING The Riverfront will present NoFit State Circus with tabú_standing on the edge of the wilderness at Tredegar Park in April 2008! The award winning, critically acclaimed NoFit State Circus preview their new show tabú in Newport as part of The Riverfront summer season.

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, 90-minute, life-changing roller coaster ride.

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.
