Dublin Fringe Festival is delighted to welcome submissions for the 2011 edition of ABSOLUT Fringe, running from 10-25 September. For two weeks in September Dublin will be captivated by theatre, dance, music, visual art, live art and street performance from Ireland and around the globe. We invite you to join us in making it happen.
ABSOLUT Fringe is unique among festivals in Ireland. In addition to being the primary incubator for excellence and innovation in new Irish arts in the state, with 70+ premieres across theatre, dance, music and spectacle events annually, the festival has an audience profile unlike any other festival, with the majority of attendees between 18 and 35. In 2011 DFF will continue to lead the arts sector in being the largest single presenter of new Irish work that is innovative, brave and contemporary.
The vision and curatorial concept for 2011 is: A Brave New World. Building on the community theme of 2010 festival, we will programme new theatre, dance, music, street arts, spectacle, comedy and public art that connect with a need for radical change, new ideas, imagination and inspiration in Irish society. We are looking for stories that connect with our souls, told in all kinds of ways, and new forms that might lead the way to a new way of being in a radically altered Ireland. To do this, we need you, artists and thinkers, to make it happen. We want to hear your ideas whether you work in theatre, music, dance, visual art, street-art, film, multi-media or beyond.
