Final preparations are underway for the 23rd edition of the Prague Fringe, which starts on Monday. Alongside an array of artists from around the globe, this year’s edition will also include a local company performing a play “by” fictional Czech legend Jara Cimrman. Founder Steve Gove discussed that booking – but first told me about a production by Shinehouse Theatre, a company from Taiwan.
“This is really exciting. It’s the first time we’ve had a theatre company coming from Taiwan, and it’s a proper, full-scale production.
“The application came in in August [for the show The Whisper of the Waves] and I thought, Wow, this would be quite the thing.
“So we were in touch right from the beginning and I said, Yes, yes, yes, this has to come. And we’re really, really excited about it.”
Also coming is UnErase Poetry from India, who I see have 1.2 million followers on Instagram alone. Who are UnErase Poetry?
“UnErase Poetry are a poetry collective from Mumbai. They are huge, even by Indian standards. They’ve got several awards from YouTube for their viewership and followers.
