The Wirral performances form part of NoFit State’s continuing UK tour and have been made possible through collaboration with Wirral Council. The wider project is funded by Arts Council England.

Directed by Mish Weaver, BAMBOO is a spectacular large-scale outdoor production unlike anything most audiences will have seen before. Using only sustainably grown UK bamboo and the extraordinary skill of world-class circus artists, the performance transforms open space into a constantly evolving landscape of towering structures, dynamic choreography and breathtaking acrobatics. 

As the bamboo sculptures rise, shift and disappear, performers climb, balance, swing and fly through the air, creating a mesmerising circus playground that celebrates both the beauty and fragility of our interconnected world. Accompanied by vibrant live music, BAMBOO blends impressive feats of strength and agility with humour, grace and moments of genuine wonder.

While productions of this scale often tour major cities and established arts festivals, BAMBOO brings exceptional contemporary circus directly into the heart of communities, removing barriers to participation and giving local families the opportunity to experience internationally acclaimed live performance without having to travel. By transforming a familiar public space into an awe inspiring circus landscape, the event celebrates the power of arts and culture to bring communities together and create memorable shared experiences close to home. 

NoFit State Circus is  renowned for creating ambitious large-scale productions that tour nationally and internationally. Alongside its performances, the company is committed to developing the circus sector and delivering creative community programmes that inspire people of all ages, particularly those from underserved communities.
