Amsterdam Fringe Festival

Each year in September, Amsterdam Fringe Festival offers an 11-day platform and a refuge for unique artists and their audiences. Talented upcoming makers, inventors, masters of the niche, forgers of hybrids, out-of-boxers, wildcards and the artistically homeless – either by choice or chance.
They invite you to come on a Fringe adventure to roam the fringes of the theatre and the city, from tiny stages and hidden gems to obscure garages and less cultivated areas.

The city is our playground! The AFF is spread over 30 locations all over Amsterdam, inside and outside theatre venues.

AFF stands for the experiment. True experiment, of which the end result is not set yet. This enthusiasm for finding the fringes of the Arts is what brings us together. We live in a world in transition in which old structures are being questioned by experimenting with new narratives, and upcoming art forms and by discussing the purpose of art.

This platform is what the Amsterdam Fringe Festival is all about.
