FRINGE FESTIVAL - OLD COLLEGE QUAD
FRINGE FESTIVAL - OLD COLLEGE QUAD
The Blind KTO Theatre / 3rd-27th of August
This outdoor performance is inspired by the best-selling novel Blindness by Portuguese Nobel Prize laureate, Jose Saramago. What one day seems fiction may well become reality the next day. As people loose their eye-sight in unexplained circumstances, we witness a pessimistic image of a civilisation of consumers.

Macbeth Teatr Biuro Podróży / 2nd-13th of August
In a world of chaos, the order of nature is replaced by the logic of death. The play is situated in the liminal space between reality and a nightmare, where earthly characters coexist with witches and ghosts. Sold-out performances during the 2007 Fringe Festival.

Carmen Funebre Teatr Biuro Podróży / 14th of August, (a charity fund raise performance)
The piece takes up the compelling theme of the war in Bosnia, as well as other ethnic conflicts and world-wide outbreaks of nationalism and intolerance. Stilts, fire, searchlights, spectacular sets, and chilling music threaten the audience while evoking the catharctic fear and compassion. A winner of the Fringe First and Critics’ Awards in 1995.
Planet Lem Teatr Biuro Podróży / 16th-26th of August
Spectacular moving sets, lighting effects, multimedia projections and music composed especially for the production portray an anti-utopian world of the future. The play reflects on the impact technological progress has on man, and attempts to pose the disquieting question of contemporary man’s fear of freedom.
