Fringe Festival 2011/2012

Hua Hin has its own Fringe Festival. After last year's joint staging in Bangkok and Hua Hin, the beautiful beach resort is now the only venue. With artitsts and performances from all over the world, and of course Thailand, this year's programme is unique and has something for everyone's taste. The current Fringe Festival runs from 12 November 2011 – 25 February 2012.

The Fringe Festival 2011/2012 is being held at the amazing venue, Vic Hua Hin, under the guidance of artistic director Khun Patravadi Mejudhon. It is supported by the Office of Contemporary Arts and Culture at the Thai Ministry of Culture.

For December 3, the Urban Bones Dance Company from Bangkok has been invited to perform three pieces: "Entre-mains", "Haiku" and "Morphoses". The evening called "La Danse" shows the richness of French choreography and its heritage from the 20th century.

On Christmas Eve, Vic Hua Hin and the Patravadi High School Hua Hin invite you to spend a couple of hours with Christmas songs, turkey, students performances and the magic ambience of X-Mas Eve @ Vic Hua Hin - starting at 6.00 pm, December 24. Donations for their scholarship fund for young performing artists are greatly appreciated.

Returning to the Fringe Festival is Yael Rasooly and the Golden Delicious Theatre from Jerusalem, Israel. The show will feature three object theatre pieces in one evening, 21 January 2012. This performance is supported by the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Another Thai production will be presented on February 4, with B-Floor from Bangkok. "Taste of Curry" combines live music and a story about cooking with a shattering look at life in all kinds of languages: Thai, English, French, Gibberish; and of course physical movement and live music to present the full taste of life!

The next guest travels from the UK to Thailand to perform his one-man piece "SPACE". Timothy Mann is an actor, writer, musician and video editor who joined the theatre company Nose2Nose in 2006. He will ask the infinite question, "What is SPACE?"... and maybe also find an answer.

A co-production with the Festival La Fête, Bangkok, will be the final event of the Fringe Festival: "Pichet Klunchun and Myself", performed by the French artist Jérôme Bel and the Thai dancer Pichet Klunchun. We will see a combination of traditional Khon and modern Dance, to close the festival on 25 February 2012.
