During Festival we’re launching a new three-year project, Mysteries & Drolls, funded by the EU CREATIVE EUROPE programme. This five-country project will culminate in new co-productions and modern interpretations of older street theatre traditions. Work will be showcased in the Mercantia Festival, Certaldo, Italy in 2019 and Festival of Fools, here in Belfast in 2020.
Wet weather plan
Obviously the sun will be splitting the trees and we won’t need to worry about this, but in the vanishingly likely possibility that it rains, we have back up locations organised, thanks to the generosity of Ulster University, Victoria Square and Belfast Circus School.
Follow us on Twitter @foolsfest or look at our Facebook page for more details.
