With over 5,000 artists from Victoria and Australia’s diverse arts scene, the 2014 incarnation will feature over 400 individual shows over 19 days in hundreds of venues across the city.
The 2014 program will see the return of Fringe Festival favourites such as Arj Barker, Rod Quantock, Finucane & Smith and Die Roten Punkte, alongside a slew of emerging, established and exciting artists spanning a range of artforms, including comedy, music, theatre, circus, dance, design and visual art.
This year, Melbourne Fringe presents Uncommon Places, exploring the concept of the “Third Place”, a place where people gather, converse, catch up and hang out. Third Places are informal sites that foster civic engagement, political thought, multicultural vibrancy and a sense of belonging.
Other highlights of the 2014 festival include the Fringe Hub in North Melbourne, the return of Fringe Film: Digital Creatures and the beloved Fringe Furniture program that each year showcases the latest in furniture, object and interior design.
