NoFit State Circus Brings SABOTAGE to Redruth This August

Big Top thrills in Redruth

Cornwall is set to experience something truly unforgettable this summer as NoFit State Circus brings its highly acclaimed show SABOTAGE to Redruth. Running from Friday 15th to Sunday 31st August 2025, the production will take over the grounds of Redruth School, offering a high-energy mix of aerial stunts, live music and immersive storytelling.

Described as a “roller-coaster ride of jaw-dropping circus skills”, SABOTAGE pushes the boundaries of traditional circus, using every inch of the NoFit State Big Top to deliver edge-of-your-seat performances. Directed by Firenza Guidi, the show has toured across Europe and now makes a rare appearance in Cornwall, in partnership with The Ladder.

What to expect

Featuring an international cast of performers, SABOTAGE offers an energetic fusion of circus, theatre and music, paired with stunning imagery and acrobatic feats. NoFit State’s distinct style breaks the boundary between artist and audience, creating an atmosphere where “the frontiers between artists and audiences are broken, where nothing is hidden and everything revealed.”

Audiences have described the experience as “an immersive experience that is at times gloriously bewildering” (Daily Echo), while Scene called it “so alive, so vibrant, and so utterly unforgettable.”
