FringeMI Festival
June 5 to 11, 2023
Nearly 8,000 participants enjoyed the events of the FringeMI Festival, with a program that developed over seven days, involving eleven neighborhoods of Milan, 50 stages for a total of 150 shows with many different shows aimed at different audiences.
The success of the fifth edition of FringeMI is linked to an organizational structure that ensures the care of each neighborhood in which the festival takes place. This is possibile thanks to the organization that engage the local associations that live and work in that neighborhood. The result has been a true widespread festival with a big and responsive audience, a wave of new supporters that fills us with joy! After some difficult years, this bring us hope for a new season for the cultural events, making FringeMI play an important role in the Milanese and national cultural offer.

We wish to award a show that embodied at his best the spirit of the Fringe, which enhances the link between audience and performance in an unconventional space, an insight that bring out great theater classics in an original way in a form deliberately contaminated by contemporary devices, with a critical look at the Showbusiness system, the role of the artist, and the ways in which art is enjoyed.
