WHAT DOES FRINGE FESTIVAL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Fringe theatre

Fringe theatre is theatre that is not of the mainstream. The term comes from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, which name comes from Robert Kemp, who described the unofficial companies performing at the same time as the second Edinburgh International Festival as a "fringe", writing: "Round the fringe of official Festival drama, there seems to be more private enterprise than before". The term has since been adopted by the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and thence by alternative theatres and alternative theatre festivals. In London, the Fringe is the term given to small scale theatres, many of them located above pubs, and the equivalent to New York's Off-Off-Broadway theatres. There are also many unjuried theatre festivals, in which the participating acts may be chosen by lottery, in contrast to juried festivals in which acts are selected based on their artistic qualities. These unjuried festivals, such as the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and Adelaide Fringe Festival, permit artists to perform a wide variety of works.
