The 2022 Melbourne Fringe Festival is serving a feast of Blak excellence this October with our biggest Deadly Fringe program ever. A packed program includes four new Deadly Fringe commissions and exceptional new First Nations storytelling.
Exploring concepts of time – past, present and future – First Nations-led work appears across the breadth of the Festival in all artforms, from immersive work to theatre, circus, drag, visual art, music and work for children. This year’s Deadly Fringe program is not to be missed.
