Melbourne Fringe never fails to surprise—and this year is no exception. With a focus on radical creativity, inclusion, and taking up space, 2025’s programme is already pulsing with bold new ideas. From pop-up cabarets in car parks to immersive VR forests and performances in shop windows, the city becomes a stage where rules bend and imagination leads.
A standout trend is sustainable storytelling—shows built from reclaimed materials, recycled costumes, and zero-waste sets. Artists are proving that raw, found, and imperfect can also be poetic, powerful, and performative. This ethos blends perfectly with our Sundayfringe mission to spotlight art with purpose.
If you’re dreaming of building your own show or just want to dive into the behind-the-scenes spirit of grassroots creativity, make sure to listen to Start Your Art, our podcast packed with tips on making art from raw materials, community inspiration, and low-cost sustainability hacks.
The fringe is fierce, fast, and full of feeling. Let’s keep it wild.
