FINAL WEEK:
ARCHIE ROSE TOURING HUB

New Zealand/New York based writer and director, Eleanor Bishop's Jane Doe is a participatory theatre show reflecting on rape culture in our communities. As one performer leads a public reading of a rape trial script, the audience members read as witnesses and lawyers, feeding in live responses via their phones.
Maggot, by New Zealanders Angela Foughy, Elle Wootton and Freya Finch, is an anarchic sketch show that merges clown, dance and character comedy. The company were winners of the 'Adelaide Fringe Tour Ready Award' and nominated for 'Most Promising Emerging Company' at NZ Fringe 2017.
The Break Up [We Need to Talk] by New Zealand company Binge Culture lovingly creates and destroys an entire relationship from scratch in five hours with one desperate conversation.
LEGS HUB
28-30 September
The Women of Chasing Smoke by Casus Circus comes direct form Darwin Festival for a special Sydney Fringe Director's cut version of the show. Chasing Smoke is an evocative and triumphant performance by Australia's only Indigenous contemporary circus ensemble, and winners of the 2017 Green Room Awards for Best Contemporary Circus, that explores the world's oldest living culture told through the art form of contemporary circus.
Letters To An Unborn Child by Brown Paper Circus, from Sydney's Trapeze School, uses the physical body, text, image, apparatus, and movement to create compelling circus theatre inspired by Karl Ove Knausgaurd's Autumn.

The Sydney Fringe Festival is now the largest independent arts festival in NSW, representing thousands of artists across all art forms. It has built a reputation for nurturing and supporting emerging artists, presenting established artists in the development of new works, promoting small to medium sized venues and activating public spaces. In addition to the presentation of art, this festival engages the local community of residents and supports small business and night-time economy. This festival aims to give a voice to those who produce work all year round and compete with main stage events for publicity, and large corporations for custom. This festival represents the cultural heart of the city and celebrates all things Sydney from local community groups to well-known touring artists. The Sydney Fringe Festival is proudly supported by the City of Sydney. https://www.sydneyfringe.com
