The authority always sends, and more in Edinburgh
The so-called Fringe Festival is one of the five festivals that are currently being held in Edinburgh , the largest, the most alternative, the only one that brings together established artists and amateurs looking to carve out a niche for themselves in the difficult art world. Hugh grant, robin-williams either emma thompson they acted in the Fringe early in his career.
It is one in the afternoon and as for hundreds of years the canyon of the edinburgh castle spits out his powder ball. It is the time when the Fringe begins to stretch, the performances begin in the makeshift tents along the high-street and the delirious promotion of the different plays that will take place in the afternoon in cafes, theaters or even on buses begins. Any site is valid to tell a story whether it is new or old, comic or dramatic. make you laugh or cry, Here's the thing for many. Getting it is the great challenge that everyone seeks.
Gentlemen, the Hungry Bitchs
Some boys with their pants down claim the attention of the public to promote a play written by themselves, and that according to what they tell us "It's getting great reviews." A little later the Hungry Bitchs, (Hungry Vixens) make a sit-down with a face of few friends. They are angry with the system, with the world... and they invite us to their particular protest that will take place at night in a cafe next to the so-called Royal Mile.
We continue our descent along the street presided over by the majestic castle, the same one that saw the birth of the first King of Scotland and England , and we found a young man playing a guitar. He plays 'Romance Español' and, as impossible as it may seem, there has been a chimerical silence among the crowd to listen to the magical notes that come out of a guitar with holes (part of the artist's look, we imagine).
Pamphlets and more pamphlets are handed out to passers-by: 'Alternative Sex Education' or what it will be like to be gay tomorrow, comedies dedicated to twenty-somethings lost in a world that leaves a lot to be desired, mythological works, even the famous Thailand LadyBoys they have their place in this endless artistic procession. More than 2,000 shows that promise to satisfy the tastes of almost everyone. Meanwhile in Edinburgh it starts to rain, probably a type of rain that they call here phishing doon although it is difficult to know for sure. The Scots have more than fifteen expressions to describe the different forms of rain, a true national affair. But nobody seems to care, the show will continue without a break until nightfall.
