the nolo fringe festival
The Nolo Fringe Festival is a performing arts festival that wants to give an opportunity to multidisciplinary shows of all kinds and genres, created by artists who like to take a challenge and enjoy experimenting. It takes place in unconventional spaces where those on stage are in close contact with a new, curious and open-minded audience.
The festival is divided into two parts: the official programme includes the companies which had responded to an international calling and are selected according to criteria of technical feasibility, novelty of the proposal and balanced programming. Every evening they take turns on the main “stages” of the festival. The second part, the ‘Fringe Extra’, includes other shows, performances and meetings that take place in different locations within the neighborhood.
The NoLo Fringe Festival is by its nature open, inclusive, international, tolerant, multicolored, fun and carefree. It is also attentive, thoughtful, deep, passionate and sincere at the same time.
6 days of shows performed in a place where such things had never happened before: in the Milanese district of NoLo, home to a thousand souls of which the festival intends to be the collector, and in places such as pubs, gyms, event spaces, hubs, clubs, restaurants, parks, whose use during the rest of the year is completely different.
