Live shows: Edinburgh bursts with energy
Leading Edinburgh Festival Fringe independent venue producer C venues is adding two new locations for its 2010 season. The season promises 210 productions offering a feast of immersive and interactive theatre in found and site-specific performance spaces.
The venues are long-time Festival favourites, the George Square Theatre and the Roman Eagle Lodge.
For the duration, The Roman Eagle Lodge becomes C aquila (Latin for eagle), while the George Square Theatre becomes C plaza.
C venues Artistic Director Hartley Kemp said: “C venues is proud to add these two very well-known Fringe venues to our stable.
”They both offer something unique and enable us to expand the facilities we can offer our performing companies and audience members.”
Not all performances suit a standard theatre space, so in 2010 C will also be developing its tradition of utilising found spaces, with a mini-season of interactive and immersive performances taking place in the burnt-out shell of the C soco venue; projection, music, dance, theatre family shows and live performance in C’s outdoor spaces; and a new interactive piece in the closes of the Old Town, where the audience become the players.
The full programme for the Festival Fringe will be launched on June 10.
