DID YOU KNOW? That CTC's Fringe Festival is one of over 300 that are held globally each year? Fringe Festival roots began in 1947 in Edinburgh, when eight plays that were not chosen to perform at the International Festival showed up, and they performed anyway, in fringe venues. A movement was born.
SO, WHAT EXACTLY IS FRINGE? According to worldfringe.com:
"Fringe is a grassroots festival with the freedom to celebrate and exchange. It’s a Fringe of a Festival, or a Festival of Fringe Arts, made possible by the people who take part. Developed organically across the globe, [the festivals] are unique in style and form every time they open. A Fringe Festival exists to serve the participating artists and audiences through building awareness. They are constituted through innovation and creative expression. The Fringe ethos is, ‘If you want to do it you can… Fringes offer an alternative!’"
WHEN? CTC's Fringe Festival will take place from May 15th - 18th at LiteraturHaus showcasing eight new plays, over the four days.
