The M1 Singapore Fringe Festival is back with its sixth edition. Organised and curated by The Necessary Stage, this much anticipated festival is a showcase of artists from all over the world, across various artistic genres. 

Among the exhilarating and thought-provoking original works lined up for the Festival in 2010, the festival is proud to present, for the first time, three groundbreaking works from Burma, Iran and Slovakia, namely an installation piece by Burmese artist Htein Lin, a video work by a female Iranian artist Haleh Anvari and a contemporary dance-theatre production by Debris Company from Slovakia.

Be enthralled by the works of these artists, particularly from the two Asian countries where political and ethnic tensions is rife. They show us a glimpse of their lives amidst the strife. 

In addition to these exciting artists, the festival is set to further entice audiences at two new venues: Sculpture Square and ION Orchard, Singapore’s newest iconic mall located in the heart of Orchard Road. The former will host a video installation whilst ION Orchard's ION Art will showcase one of the Festival Highlights of 2010.
