The international Fringe Festival will return to Dubai for the second year after its resounding first-year success at DSF 2006-2007.
Dubai will feature as one among the major international cities to host the acclaimed arts celebration along side Toronto, Montreal, Edinburgh, Dublin, Melbourne, and Prague.
The festival, known simply as Fringe, began with the Edinburgh International Festival in 1947, and was viewed as a post-war initiative to re-unite Europe through culture.
Over the past six decades, the Fringe has been constantly changing to accommodate talents from different countries and is today famous for its celebration of art and people.
Tshering Idnani, DSF Senior Events Coordinator, said, “This time around, the festival will feature a special theatre production that will include martial arts and Korean urban dance, apart from presenting seven international variety shows.
The Fringe is an apt example of how the DSF Office strives to present innovative events to tourists, visitors, and residents.''
Between January 24 and 30, this international festival of theatre, acrobatic skill, dance, music, and unique talent will be free for visitors at Wafi and feature seven mesmerising shows.
The second week of the Fringe, from January 31 to February 8, will feature a dynamic martial arts-based theatre production called Karma. Over 45 performers from five different countries will get together for this world-class theatre production.
Starting from January 24, the Fringe Festival will be held at Wafi City until February 8.
