A few but not all ...
Damascus
Traverse Theatre Company
A brief encounter in a Syrian hotel finds a Scottish businessman grappling with language
and love, meanings and misunderstandings. Laughter, romance and tragedy meet in
a new play by David Greig.
Edinbrugh Festival Fringe Guide
A meditation on West meets Middle East, and the contradictions and frustrations
that abound on both sides, the play feels like a quietly passionate plea for
greater rationality, empathy and complexity to be brought to our understanding
of the way the world works now.

Fuerzabruta
Fuerzabruta
From creators of ‘De La Guarda.’ An event where worlds collide. Give in,
let go, enjoy the ride. Powerful music, strobes, nudity, water, poetic, violent, beautiful
and a whole lot of mess.
All–standing, dress casual, you get wet, get dirty. Prepare for sensory overload.
Edinbrugh Festival Fringe Guide
It’s a jaw–dropping blend of aerial acrobatics, cutting edge performance,
dance and club night. Fuerzabruta means ‘brute force’, and this sexy, playful and daring
Argentinean production is living up to its name. An assault on the senses, it’s unlike
anything else you will encounter this summer.
