VIVE LE FRINGE! - FRANCE SHOWCASE

Institut français d’Écosse, supported by the French Ministry for Foreign Affairs and Institut français as part of the Cultural and Creative Industries’ international export strategy

Back for its 16th edition, Vive le Fringe! – France Showcase presents an electrifying lineup of artists and companies from France and Edinburgh Fringe, bringing fresh perspectives, captivating performances, and a whole lot of joie de vivre. 

Running from 7 – 29 August, the festival returns to the Institut français d’Écosse, which has hosted a wealth of Fringe programming since opening its doors in 1946.

Experience a moving puppetry show about the meaning of home, a hip-hop mime work about claiming space without apology, and a harmonious duet of football and violins.
