Harrisburg’s first-ever Fringe Festival launched last month, showcasing numerous local and non-local artists. Performances were a wild spectrum—from juggling knives on a unicycle, a hilarious choose-your-own play, and a grotesque film that felt like a weird trip to familiar local hip hop, a heart-wrenching, 15-minute opera, and a shocking drag, burlesque, sideshow performance. The festival’s uncensored, non-juried structure nurtured the spirit of the weird and gave a platform to artists pushing the boundaries of mainstream culture.
