World Premiere | Sat 2\u2013Mon 25 May | Big Top at Black Rock, Brighton Seafront | Circus | For The Whole Family<\/strong><\/p>

NoFit State Circus return to Brighton following their smash-hit SABOTAGE<\/em> at The Level in 2024.<\/p>

‘So alive, so vibrant, so utterly unforgettable’ <\/strong>Scene Magazine<\/em> (on SABOTAGE<\/em>)<\/p>

Directed by Firenza Guidi, carnation<\/em> is a rollercoaster of large-scale immersive circus about hope in rebellion, brought to you by the same award-winning creative team behind the acclaimed show LEXICON,<\/em> which sold out its run at Brighton Festival 2018.<\/p>

Blending humour, heart and real risk, carnation<\/em> dives head first into rebellion, resistance and hope in turbulent times, speaking clearly to the world we\u2019re living in now.<\/p>

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.<\/p>
