Description
Celebrating its 10th anniversary, the Buffer Fringe Performing Arts Festival 2023 (BFPAF 23) invites you to immerse yourself in this special edition, to witness the power of performing arts to challenge physical and artistic barriers. Between the 5th and 7th of October, the festival will host a diverse mix of performances and installations, featuring both Cyprus-based and international artists.
Recognizing our unique responsibility to contribute to peacebuilding efforts in Cyprus, this year through the theme of ‘Turning Point’, we invited artists to creatively respond to the question: ‘What comes next?’. Through this theme, BFPAF23 aspires to envision the embodiment of change using transformative objects and original methods and perspectives into our common future.
