Notions and conceptions of the fringe are of deep-seated tradition. Miroslava Svolikova develops these further combining archetypal, mythological references with pop phenomena like action movies and iconic characters like Mickey Mouse or the last unicorn. Also Tetris tiles appear to muse on their fate. Virtuosically, Svolikova connects narrative topoi and fragments of fiction. “Fringe” outlines a ludicrous and grim world with bulging fringes which an ever astonished Middle keeps oozing out of. Characters are astray like outcasts from the centre of a polarised world, of tense and twitchy times. Horror and hope find a home here

Miroslava Svolikova (*1986) received the Retzhofer Dramapreis in 2015 for her first play „Die Hockenden“ and has since been awarded numerous prizes and literary scholarships for subsequent plays.
