FRINGE ANNOUNCES FULL LINEUP FOR YEAR 11; BANDALOOP AND THE FLYING
ESPANAS WILL HEADLINE
"We are absolutely thrilled to be able to offer such a diverse
array of shows this year," says Rochester Fringe Festival
Producer Erica Fee. "The energy felt throughout the city during
the 12 days of Fringe is truly incomparable!"
Opening weekend will feature The Flying Españas in
Flippin Metal Circus, an adrenaline-pumping WORLD
PREMIERE from a renowned fifth and sixth-generation circus troupe
who are widely accepted as having modernized the art of the
trapeze.
The Fringe Finale Weekend will feature vertical
performers BANDALOOP, who will use climbing technology to
dance on the side of 21-story Five Star Plaza in downtown
Rochester. California-based BANDALOOP has performed
everywhere from the Seattle Space Needle and the New York Stock
Exchange to Yosemite's El
Capitan.
The festival's hub at One Fringe Place will be home to the
Spiegelgarden and beautiful Spiegeltent. Cirque du Fringe:
Afterglow, which runs all 12 nights of Fringe in the
Spiegeltent, is an all-new WORLD PREMIERE from Las Vegas legends Matt Morgan and Heidi
Brucker Morgan and featuring a cast of
renowned international artists. In and around the
Spiegeltent: Silent Disco returns for all four, weekend
late-nights.
Late night weekend programming in the Spiegeltent will feature
both a returning favorite – the hit Shakespeare-inspired, comedy
show Shotspeare – and a brand-new, cabaret-style
show: Late & Live, hosted by Fringe favorite and
physical comedian Mark
Gindick (Cirque du Soleil, Late Night with
Conan O'Brien, and The Late
Show with David Letterman).
Four more free, outdoor events return this year: Fringe
Street Beat, an epic breakdancing and all-styles dance
competition; Pedestrian Drive-In, nightly films on the big
screen; Kids Day; and Gospel Sunday, an afternoon of
the best in local gospel music.
From its five-day debut in 2012, the 12-day Rochester Fringe
Festival has become the largest multidisciplinary
performing arts festival in NYS and one of the top three
attended Fringe Festivals in the U.S. More than 500,000 people
have attended nearly 4,000 performances and events at the Rochester
Fringe Festival since its inception.
