The show started with a poem and a dramatic scene setting act. The thing is, I've never been too deep when it comes to poetry or interpretive movement, so unfortunately I just didn't get it. So, whilst perhaps I missed a deeper level of the performance, I enjoyed Bianco on its visual and technical merits, of which there were many...

Swinging trapeze artists demonstrating lively twists and turns; dizzying aerial hoopists; a crazy acrobats' playground with bars and trampolines; aerial dance on a suspended see-sawing frame; an exuberant handstandist; tightrope walking in heels (apparently, yes, they are suitable workout shoes!)...All as the brilliant live band musically set the scene.

Visually, one of the most beautiful moments came when a woman with an enormously long dress was hoisted up to create the illusion of endless legs. Rose petals were scattered from above and elongated figure was illuminated, before she released the skirt to the floor and revealed her rope act.

Show over, each audience member was left to lift their mouths from the floor! Bianco was a wholly captivating experience that shows off home-grown talent where, due to the promenade set up, you really felt involved – you could almost smell the sweat! Anyone booked in to see No Fit State Circus on their UK tour is definitely in for a treat!
