An open platform for performance art. Thessaloniki Fringe Festival invites emerging artists to present short live art pieces. This free, non-seated event encourages movement, discovery, and direct connection between artists and audiences, creating a dynamic environment that celebrates experimentation, spontaneity, and the excitement of live performance.

[ Host & Interventions ]
Ananana Show: Stylianos Ntokouz
The Ananana Show crashes the evening as an experimental host. Through scathing prose, song, and dance, it intervenes between acts, unexpectedly bridging the performances with the audience.

[ Lineup 2026: ]
•My Manifesto: Odysseas Koniaris, Maria Asimakoula, Thoi Gkournelou, Angeliki Avgitidou (curation)
The manifestos of the 20th century inspire through their romanticism and absoluteness. But what form can an artistic manifesto take today?

•Plastic Models: Notes on Play, Representation, and Desire: Myrto Asimakopoulou, Antonia Tamiolaki, Maria-Anna Testempasi
This presentation analyzes the doll as a carrier of social meanings, exploring how visual culture generates standards of behavior and identity around gender and the body.

•Narrow Spaces: Palla Danove, Ioannides Evdokios
A performance poetry piece about loss, freedom, and the acceptance of a queer existence. A poet-performer and a musician bring poems to life to help them step out of their room.

•Don't Look at the Dead Cat!: Jitske Cosemans, Skyla Buchanan, Chiara Capizzi, Beatrice Mariani
Four dancers explore ignorance as a survival mechanism, immersing the audience in an unsettling narrative that questions whether willful denial brings peace.

•Metaplasma: Ioanna Tzatsou
Raw observation before thought and memory. Ancestral instinct: the body remembers before the mind. What you call reality is merely a habit of perception.
