From 11-27 July - Tickets on sale now as part of Galway International Arts Festival
Saboteurs stand out. They stand up. They challenge the establishment. They are heard.
Our struggles and privileges shape our journey. And yet we find ourselves in the common meeting ground of the circus tent, with the common language of circus. Sabotage, from the incredible circus troupe NoFit State, is a breath-taking, spectacular, roller-coaster ride of jaw-dropping circus skills, featuring outrageously talented performers, eye-popping entertainment, aerial feats, live music and stunning imagery.
Boisterous, audacious and sexy, this once-in-a-lifetime, thrilling circus spectacular has captivated audiences all over the world. The company has enjoyed sold-out runs in New York, Edinburgh and London, and recently at Salzburg’s WinterFest and Marseille at the Biennale Internationale des arts du Cirque with Sabotage, a simply a must-see spectacle.
This truly unmissable show, directed by Firenza Guidi with original music by David Murray, will be performed by the outrageously talented members of the NoFit State company in the stunning NoFit State Big Top, which will be pitched by the banks of the River Corrib and Galway Bay at Nimmo’s Pier.
Almost forty years since its humble beginnings, NoFit State is now one of Europe’s leading large-scale contemporary circus company, producing professional touring productions. Over the last ten years, NoFit State's productions have visited 19 different countries, played to audiences of over 460,000, as well as receiving critical acclaim and winning numerous prestigious international arts awards.
