Taipei Fringe Festival is known for its openness and freedom that embraces all kinds of performances while ignoring all serious screening criteria.
The annual festival encourages freedom and new expressions of creativity and has served as a platform for alternative, non-mainstream and experimental performances.
It helps to relocate art into everyday venues, including parks and coffee shops, so that it can serve as inspiration to more people instead of those selected few.
Taipei Fringe Festival has been improving itself year after year both in quantity and quality. It has become a platform for budding artists. Many theater troupes that were invited to the festival would later nominated for awards and given opportunities to perform in other occasions.
