Like many fringe festivals around the world, Sydney Fringe Festival is open-access; anyone can enter their work into the Festival provided they can afford the registration fee.
Consequently, when identifiable themes emerge from among the 400-plus works featured in this year’s Sydney Fringe program, they’re genuine manifestations of the zeitgeist – expressions of the many registered artists’ shared preoccupations and concerns rather than works that have been deliberately programmed to fit a pre-existing theme by Festival Director and CEO, Kerri Glasscock.
