Buffer Fringe Performing Arts Festival 2022

An innovative festival of resistance through the arts returns for its 9^th edition

Buffer Fringe Performing Arts Festival – October 7^th, 8^th, 9^th 2022

Buffer Fringe Performing Arts Festival returns for its 9^th edition, with a renewed commitment to its mission for social justice and peacebuilding. The uncertainty of our world, the multiple crises of our times, and the stagnant political process in Cyprus, make resistance and collaboration through the arts all the more important.

Through the transformative power of the arts, an innovative collaborative structure, and international participation Buffer Fringe 2022 – organized by the Home for Cooperation – will feature original artistic work from Cyprus, Italy, Greece, France, and the Netherlands. These works were selected among an unprecedented 242 artistic proposals from 37 countries.

The theme for 2022 is Pockets (beyond), which aims to initiate a discussion on who is visible/invisible and why. Pockets (beyond) becomes a space to start thinking about difference and identity, past and present, inside and outside, inclusion and exclusion. It transfers agency back to the marginal, the forgotten, the invisible.

Buffer Fringe 2022 will take place on the 7^th, 8^th, 9^th of October across the island of Cyprus and online.

Stay tuned for the full BF 2022 lineup of artists and works!
