Dublin Fringe Festival is more than sixteen days in September, its more than late nights and last laughs on the bus home. It’s an investment in talent, a platform for big ideas and a summer of artists across the country creating worlds for all of us.
Murmuration ‘I am so sick of being so lost somewhere that ought to be home.’ Dee is back in Dublin, after several years away. Fin never left and is hiding in plain sight. Viewed through a window and heard through headphones, witness a chance encounter between two people unaware of how much they need to be heard. This intimate show is an invitation to listen in as they strive to tune out the city around them, and the noise within.

FORWARD FOCUS
WILL I SEE YOU THERE
THEATRE, SOUND ART, LIVE ART
This is a forward-focused festival, with an emphasis on keeping the ever-industrious buzz of artists at work alight. We have learned the urgency of the immediate and the gratification of the slow burn: there is power in the here and now, there is strength in the solidarity created through months of hard graft. This year we’re championing 50 artists to continue crafting and coalescing their big ideas through an ongoing FRINGE LAB artist support programme. It’s time to catch momentum, to keep it going, to find a way through this, to scheme a thousand mini-utopias and then be ready to make them so (when the time is right!). Some things remain unchanged. Artists have always known how to shape the way forward in uncertain times. Dublin Fringe Festival will always have their backs. — Bee Sparks, Artistic Projects Manager
