// performance art // theatre // dance // music // experiment // For 11 days the Amsterdam Fringe Festival will be presenting theatre and dance by talented new, undiscovered and untamed makers at more than 30 venues across Amsterdam. Fringe is open and uncurated. We present a varied program featuring artists from a wide range of backgrounds, origins and futures. The festival is an ode to the madness of the stage and to independence of spirit and it is a plea for artistic freedom. A big, fat, heartfelt embrace of experimentation in the true sense of the word: one whose outcome is able to effect a real surprise. Fringe is a platform and a refuge for unique artists and their audiences. Talented young makers, inventors, masters of the niche, hybrids, out-of-boxers, wildcards and the artistically homeless – either by choice or by chance: they invite you to come on a Fringe adventure to roam the fringes of the theatre and the city. From tiny stages and hidden gems to obscure garages and uncultivated areas. From theatrical fledglings, homebird jokers, heartbroken nightingales and pro-apocalyptic swansongs to peacock monologues, cuckoo stories, spring chickens dancing, and warm little performance-nests you will never want to leave. Watch them spread their wings! Amsterdam Fringe Festival takes place from 6-16 sep 2018.
