11 AGO 2024 · In this episode, we dive into the ongoing debate about whether the Edinburgh Fringe has lost its cutting edge. On one side, the festival still showcases a diverse array of performances, with many acts pushing boundaries and challenging audiences. This year’s lineup features everything from surreal solo shows to radical experimental theatre, proving that the Fringe continues to be a platform for innovation.
However, there’s growing concern that rising costs and increasing commercialization are making it harder for new, groundbreaking talent to participate. The high expenses associated with attending the Fringe, especially for accommodation, could be stifling the creativity that the festival was once known for. While there are still plenty of bold and original performances, some critics argue that the festival is becoming more about what’s commercially safe than truly avant-garde.
