It’s August, and theatre would normally be celebrating its annual shindig at the fringe. But this year the fringe comes to your own living room with a number of initiatives including a weekly Friday line-up of comedy and cabaret from the Fringe Society itself. Zoo Venues are not one of the biggest fringe venues but it is one of the most consistently interesting featuring boundary busting offerings and outlier shows. And this year you can watch it all from your own front room. If you want outlier then tune into Graeme Leak’s Ewetube: an Infinite Eco-Opera which live streams from 12 noon each day offering harmonised sheep choruses and bird song from a field in deepest Stirlingshire. Or check out Ontroerend Goed’s Loopstaion, Luca Silvestrini’s Protein with the dance piece Lol (Lots of Love), Bootlicker and CHILLDXDDY’s binaural video, Fix and Foxy’s Rocky! Featuring a dead pig, a politician and an actor, YesYesNoNo’s durational participatory piece on regret and things we never said, Message Not Sent, and much much more. There is good stuff every single day with work from Imitating the Dog, The Wardrobe Ensemble and more.

All content is free to access and available worldwide; audiences will be encouraged to donate directly to each performing company or artist. The programme includes several world-renowned companies returning to ZOO: multiple Fringe First-winners Ontroerend Goed present Loopstation, a large-scale homage to humanity’s habits and routines which has never been seen at the Fringe before.
