Revolution Circus Shines Bright at Edinburgh Fringe 2025

Two Spectacular Shows | Global Artistry Meets Family-Friendly Fun

This August, Revolution Circus, a trailblazing international contemporary circus collective, brings two exhilarating productions to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe — showcasing world-class artistry and a creative language that speaks to all ages.

Newbie

What legacy are we leaving for tomorrow? In this groundbreaking site-specific circus experience, Newbie confronts the world we're building for the next generation — one shadowed by jealousy, greed, and violence.

Set beneath the earth‘s surface, this poetic piece explores what remains when adults leave behind not just physical waste, but emotional debris. Through breathtaking acrobatics, dance, and drama performed in Dynamic Earth’s unique subterranean venue, award-winning international performers transform classic circus skills into a powerful artistic statement about hope and renewal.

Location: Venue 315 (Dynamic Earth, EH8 8AS)
Date: 1-24 August
