“Fringe is a platform and sanctuary for quirky makers and their audience. Young talent, inventors, niche virtuosos, hybrids, out-of-boxers, post-avant-gardists, strange birds, wildcards and the deliberately artistically homeless: they invite you to join us on a Fringe adventure along the fringes of the theater and the city.”

If you haven’t been to a fringe festival in your life, you are missing out. This avant-garde event celebrates eccentricity in performance; with cutting-edge productions, the fringe is the ultimate ode to artistic independence. Performers and produces come from all over the world, so there is something for everyone (even those of us who don’t speak Dutch). You can see the full programme here.
