Shanghai is to get its own take on Edinburgh's world-renowned Fringe Festival in June, with the hosting of the 2016 Xintiandi Fringe Festival.
British, American, Spanish, French, Australian, Taiwanese and Czech arts troupes will be putting on productions in and around Xintiandi across a period of two weeks - in restaurants, public areas and in a specially erected 'theatre' beside Taiping lake - with most of the shows free for the public.
Some of the highlights look set to include Australian acrobatic group Gravity and Other Myths' multi-award winning Simple Space, British troupe Action Hero's daredevil-inspired act Watch Me Fall (pictured above), and a British-American co-production that will project moving images onto Xintiandi's architecture accompanied by music.
The Xintiandi Fringe might not have the pedigree and environment of the nearby Wuzhen International Theatre Festival, but this is only its first year, so here's hoping it grows into something even remotely as vibrant and interesting as the Scottish version.
