WALES’ large-scale circus NoFit State celebrates its 40th anniversary with a stunning new production CARNATION, which comes to Carmarthen Showground from August 8 – August 23.
CARNATION hurls you into a human rollercoaster of extraordinary, large-scale circus about hope in rebellion. World-class circus, live music and bold cinematic imagery collide in an all-embracing Big Top experience from award-winning director Firenza Guidi.
Amongst the show’s talented international performers are twins Clementine and Grace Tonkin Wells from Pembrokeshire. Clem and Grace have gone on an amazing journey, from seeing NoFit State’s BIANCO at Bluestone as children to now being part of the company’s flagship big top show themselves.
The twins also hold the Guinness World Record for the longest duration suspended in a foot-to-foot trapeze hold (team of two) for 5 minutes!
Boisterous, audacious and emotional, CARNATION unleashes jaw-dropping skills and heart-stopping moments of ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
The revolution is coming and I have nothing to wear.
CARNATION will run in the Big Top Tent at Carmarthen Showground from August 8 – August 23, 2026. Tickets are available from the NoFit State website or by calling 02921 321 021.
NoFit State creates bold, daring work that is accessible to people of all ages. Nothing in CARNATION makes it unsuitable for children, but it was not made specifically for them.
The Guardian said: “Once inside the big top, you are enveloped in a world of magic.”
