Delhi students to perform at Edinburgh Festival Fringe

London, Aug 16 (IBNS): A team of students from Delhi University will perform at the world’s biggest arts festival.

The Edinburgh Festival Fringe show – Blind Spots, an Indian Kaleidoscope – will feature theatre, music and dance.

Performances will depict the stories, aspirations and challenges of an Indian student community.

The production – running for eight days in August – is the result of a collaboration between the Universities of Edinburgh and Delhi.

Delhi University was invited by the University of Edinburgh to create a show for the festival.

Four days of auditions were held to find some of India’s best student performers, and 22 were selected.

The University of Edinburgh has longstanding ties with India and Delhi University. Students and staff from both institutions regularly take part in exchange visits and academic and cultural collaborations.

The Edinburgh Festival Fringe is the biggest celebration of arts and culture in the world. In 2016 the Fringe staged 50,266 performances of 3,269 shows at 294 venues.
