Danza Viva returns to FRINGE WORLD presenting the latest installment in their Tablao series 'Alma Flamenca'. Sofia Pratt is the director of Danza Viva and began her journey with FRINGE WORLD in 2017 when she presented her contemporary Flamenco show 'Loco' and won the Dance & Physical Theatre award. Since then she has produced numerous shows for FRINGE WORLD and now teams up with musicians from the popular FRINGE WORLD act 'La Pandilla Flamenca' with an exploration of the gypsy soul; a presentation of pure Flamenco passion and technique that also happens to be - as always - just a little bit crazy.

Fate: A New Musical - written & presented by Moirai Productions (featuring WAAPA graduates)
6:00pm & 8:00 pm
In Greek mythology, the Moirai, or the Fates, are the higher beings who handle the strings of the humans’ fates. But what happens when one of them decides to abandon their post, leaving humans to face a world of chaos without their control?
FATE is an original one-act musical making its public world debut at Perth FRINGE WORLD 2025. Middle sister of the Fates, Lachesis is in charge of drawing out human fates and giving them direction, but when she leaves her celestial duties to experience life on Earth, she discovers love, independence, and the heart-wrenching reality of her duty. Set against the backdrop of a bustling 90s Chicago, this musical blends mythology and the human experience with a contemporary folk-rock score, in a story about love, loss, and the power of choice.
Presented by: Moirai Productions
Born from the shared passion of young artists, Moirai Productions was born when one amateur producer discovered an original story by a team of young creatives, and decided to put it on a public stage. Originating from passion for carving one’s own way in life, this independent production company aims to create opportunities to tell stories, both old and new, with the hope that they may change at least one life, if not many, for the better, and inspire change in the world.
February Season
Looped
Written by: Matthew Lombardo
Directed by: Jacqui Warner
Production Dates: 21/02/2025 - 8/03/2025
Suggested audience 15yrs+ (strong language)
This play is based on a real event:
During the summer of 1965, an inebriated Tallulah Bankhead, entered a Los Angeles recording studio in an effort to re-record (or ‘loop’) a few lines of dialogue from her final film Die, Die, My Darling.
This simple task took over 8 hours to complete. Though Bankhead's outsized personality dominates the play, the sub-story involves her battle of wills with a film editor named Danny Miller, who has been selected to work that particular sound editing session.
