On Monday April 18, 2022, ticket pre-sales for the 12th edition of the Delft Fringe Festival will start. From June 2 to 12, 2022, 42 selected young artists present themselves at 26 unique locations in the city, with a diverse and inclusive program. There are no less than 22 exclusive festival premieres! This makes Delft Fringe Festival - after two years online - the stepping stone for young theater artists on their way to national fame again.
Tappin-it Collective - premiere DOEMSDEE
Of course, Tappin-it Collective, the audience winner of 2021, is not missing. After receiving the ‘Nieuwe Makers’ prize from Fonds Podiumkunsten early this year, dancers Robin Lie and Doortje Peters chose an all-transcending theme: the end of time. Let yourself be overwhelmed by this dance performance drenched in tap, mime and percussion.
- Premiere DOEMSDEE, June 3, 20:30 at the Rietveld Theater. Tickets.
Skandalisi Dance - premiere Don't Let It Worry You Now
Dutch choreographer Riedon van den Berg is the founder of Skandalisi Dance, a dance company that collaborates with International Master Course, an education platform based in Yekaterinburg, Russia. Riedon himself lives and works in Russia. For the premiere of 'Don't Let It Worry You Now' he and Russian Maria Sokolova will visit the Netherlands, circumstances permitting. If not, other dancers will perform his choreographed piece in Delft.
- Premiere Don't Let It Worry You Now, June 3, 19:30 in the Rietveld Theater. Tickets.
Niek Wagenaar - premiere Nymphs
Do you ever hold a mirror up to yourself, or do you only mirror the expectations around you, Amsterdam-based choreographer Niek Wagenaar wonders? During the premiere of 'Nymphs' five dancers will search for ways to express their gender identity. But is it really that easy to define who you are? Entangled in a web of social constructions, the dancers move towards connection.
- Premiere Nymphs, June 4, 19:30 in the Prinsenkwartier. Tickets.
