After a very successful and well received first festival past year, the Paris Fringe Festival. is back! From May 18-28th Paris theater-goers can sample a fabulous array of theater in English! Read on for a preview of this year’s festival and find out how you can win tickets!
For last year’s inaugural edition, co-founders Reka Polonyi and Dom Douglas shared the inspiration which drove them to create a Paris branch of this international phenomenon in this article. We’re so thrilled that the event drew in sell-out crowds allowing them to recreate it this year… and from the sounds of it, it’ll be even stronger.
“We’re still growing and learning and trying out new things and blooming into the Paris Fringe festival we want to be,” explains Reka. “This year we’re excited to launch the Free Fringe, a series of short shows that are free and scattered throughout spaces in the two neighbourhoods. You’ll find clowns in a courtyard, dance in a gallery, comedy in a little cottage… hopefully something for everyone!
Cocooned in Kazan
