‘The adult audience gasps, enraptured, for this is grown up yet ever playful circus set to an inventive vaudeville music hall meets Gogol Bordello madhouse soundtrack’. The Stage
"NoFit State - a band of living, sweating circus stars, and not a robot in sight"
read the Daily Telegraph feature >Circus exists in a parallel world where the extraordinary seems commonplace, where weird, wonderful, and seemingly impossible feats of human skill are the norm.
Following its hugely successful Tabú, Wales’ internationally acclaimed NoFit State Circus leaves its Big Top behind with this new production especially made for proscenium stages as part of National Theatre Wales’ first year.
Mundo Paralelo brings circus and theatre together in a Picasso-blue-hued show, created with renowned Serbian director Mladen Materic.
As superb acrobatic performers move from dollhouse streets to life-size rooftop platforms you will be drawn into micro worlds of dreams, hopes and memories. Interwoven stories unfold with swooping aerial moves and gravity defying skills.With its company of home grown and international artists and mission ‘to be the circus everyone wants to join’ NoFit State is leading the renaissance of contemporary circus in the UK.
Mladen Materic founded Tattoo Theatre in former Yugoslavia in the 1980s, moving it to Toulouse in 1992. His productions have featured in Europe’s most important festivals, including the Edinburgh International Festival with Pourquoi la Cuisine, devised with Peter Handke
