Last Chance To See NoFit State Circus' BIANCO In Southbank Centre

Audiences have just a few weeks to go to enjoy NoFit State Circus' breathtaking hit show BIANCO before the UK's leading circus company bring the house lights up in its silver spaceship Big Top at London's Southbank Centre on Sunday 22 January 2017.

A promenade experience unlike any other, BIANCO combines innovative rigging with counter-weighting techniques, taking place above, behind and all around the audience, in an up-close and all-consuming theatrical spectacular.

BIANCO breaks down the boundaries between artist and audience, immersing them in an intimate world of breath-taking and powerful performances, accompanied by an electrifying live band with an eclectic original score. Rather than relying on a linear narrative, BIANCO takes the audience on a journey of individual interpretation, creating a unique experience for all spectators. Music, costumes, props, lighting and design combine to influence the action as much as the story, creating a personal experience that is engaging and accessible for all ages.

Commenting on the finale of BIANCO's hugely successful five-year world tour, Tom Rack, Artistic Director, NoFit State Circus said, "BIANCO has been on an epic journey since its beginnings as a co-production with The Eden Project in 2012. We have had an amazing 5-year run, capturing the hearts and minds of over 250,000 people in 11 different countries and making international premieres in Australia, China and the US along the way".

"Closing BIANCO here at London's Southbank Centre gives the show the equally epic ending it deserves. We thank them, and all the partners who made this journey possible, and we look forward to a grand finale this January and the exciting new adventures to come."

BIANCO is directed by Firenza Guidi, with music direction by David Murray, production design by Saz Moir, lighting by Adam Cobbley, costumes by Rhiannon Matthews and rigging design by Lyndall Merry.

Bringing together some of the most talented international circus performers with a diverse range of skills, the company of BIANCO includes Lyndall Merry (Head Rigger/Performer), Joachim Aussibal, Junior Barbosa, François Bouvier, Edd Casey, Delia Ceruti, Topher Dagg, August Dakteris, Jani Foldi, Enni Lymi, Felipe Nardiello, Jess O'Connor, Danilo de Campos Pacheco, Ella Rose, Blaze Tarsha, Lee Tinnion, Cecilia Zucchetti, and musicians Matt Collins, Doug Kemp, Annette Loose, and Andy Moore.
