From 24 September to 12 October, Melbourne will burst with excitement as The Age 2008 Melbourne Fringe Festival unleashes 19 days of arts events, installations and unbridled creativity across Australia’s cultural capital.
The Age 2007 Melbourne Fringe Festival marked 25 years of Melbourne Fringe bringing its wondrous melting-pot of art to Melbourne, making it one of Australia’s oldest and most significant cultural festivals. Over the years Melbourne Fringe has been the platform for many of Australia’s finest talents, including Jane Campion, Lano and Woodley, Barrie Kosky, Denise Scott, Jean Kitson, Santo Cilauro, Rachel Berger, Rachel Griffiths, Tiddas, Chamber Made Opera, Patrica Piccinini, Judith Lucy, The Doug Anthony Allstars, Greg Fleet, Adam Richard and Wil Anderson.
With an independent program representing performance, comedy, circus, cabaret, music, visual arts, dance and movement and digital art, more than 3,000 artists will be involved in this celebration of artistic excellence.
Melbourne Fringe offers something for everyone, presenting around 250 events in over 100 venues right across Melbourne, including activities for all ages. Ticket prices average less than AU$20 with plenty of free events.
So join more than 200,000 Fringe-goers in 2008, as we expose the most contemporary and innovative work by independent artists to the theatres, galleries, laneways and nooks and crannies of the city.
