yes, that is a nipple in the letter OJust because the Fringe Fest­iv­al is over (and con­grats to all the win­ners at the Fringe Awards), does­n’t mean you can­’t still see some avant garde per­form­ance art on the streets. Oh no.

We’ve already missed a couple of per­form­ances by Avangard – the pro-glam art band from Esto­nia – but I fully intend to be at the Train Sta­tion later today as they put on their final per­form­ance of ‘The Bomb’.

The Bomb is, as one blurb puts it, “…an iron­ic com­ment on the dec­ades-long hys­teria about nuc­le­ar threat and grow­ing up in the shad­ow of immin­ent nuc­le­ar dis­aster.” Be wary, the same blurb also tells of Avangard being inter­ested in organ­ising ‘social exper­i­ments’, so I doubt it will be a ‘sit-back-and-enjoy-the-show’ sort of affair. Hope­fully.

The Avangard crew also do art install­a­tions under the name of Pink Punk, so, even if you can­’t make their social exper­i­ments, you can pop along to the Enjoy Gal­lery to see what sort of stuff the mod­ern-day avant-garde Esto­ni­an artist pro­duces. The art exhib­i­tion ends 18 March.
