The Grahamstown National Arts Festival and the City of Cape Town have announced a partnership which will see the launch of a new performing arts festival in September in the Mother City.
Metrominute reports that the Cape Town Fringe aims to present around 40 productions in venues in and around the city centre, as well as in satellite venues in areas such as Langa.
Festival CEO, Tony Lankester, says the choice of Cape Town as a host city came about after the National Arts Festival conducted an extensive analysis of where to stage a new Festival.
He says they wanted to extend their reach beyond Grahamstown and stage a new Fringe in a City which already puts creativity at the forefront.
