So
apparently The Edmonton Fringe is the second largest in the world after the
original in Edinburgh. I beg to
differ. The Adelaide Fringe Festival is huge. In a month, besides theatre,
dance, street performers (I saw a couple of Canadians ) and stand-up comedians, there is an Aboriginal Spirit Festival and a
variety of music festivals each weekend, including a large folk fest called Womadelaide.
Some of
the Fringe is held in the ‘Garden of Unearthly Delights', pictured below, a
magical, old world amusement park reminiscent of Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen. I attended a performance called "The Hedgehog's Dimemna' in an very old theatre here.
I experienced the Aussie sense of humour (more British and crude) and amazing music
from all over the world. It’s painful to
hear locals try to pronounce the French names of the jazz tunes they so
beautifully play.
