[3] Writing in The Times, dance critic Donald Hutera gave a more measured response, saying that it was better to "surrender to the show's deceptively shambolic quicksilver atmosphere"[4] than concentrate overmuch on the plot.

Lyn Gardner writing for The Guardian called it "fabulous stuff that owes more to contemporary dance and experimental theatre than it does to sawdust and elephants",[6] but others have criticized that the live show seems to have "no connection with the programme's bogglingly detailed back story",[7] and that the circus skills on display "don't dramatise the original concept".

Bianco: Turning Savage went on to tour venues across the UK in NoFit State's custom-designed big top spaceship tent, including a sell-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August 2013.

The production, by Finnish circus director Maksim Komaro, was staged in a traditional theatre setting and received mixed reviews.

In January 2015, NoFit State was invited to the south of France as a featured company at the first edition of the Biennale Internationale des Arts du Cirque.

In February the company made its Chinese premiere performing Bianco at Queen Elizabeth Stadium in Hong Kong, and later on, in May, its US debut in partnership with St. Ann's Warehouse in New York City.
