A Fringe Quickie (#344) with ‘Dribble’

Questions answered by Fagner Rodrigues.

Q1: Aside from this Quickie, what is the most desperate marketing tactic you plan on using to get bums in seats this August? 280 chars

A Brazilian musical parade through the streets of Edinburgh. We’ll play, sing, invite people to dance, and even offer a taste of cachaça. It’s hard to say no to a party before the theatre.

Q2: If your show walked into a cocktail bar, what would it order?

A Caipirinha, of course—but with a splash of Scotch whisky. Just like our show, it celebrates the unexpected meeting of Brazil and Scotland.

Q3: All shows will have their tough days. What sophisticated self-care strategies will you employ to survive?

Good coffee, a walk around Edinburgh, a hug from the company, and, if I’m lucky, kissing someone from another country. Now that’s real cultural exchange.

Q4: If all the shows running right now were at a massive Fringe house party, what is your show doing?

Probably stealing the karaoke mic and singing an ABBA song at the top of its lungs. By the chorus, we’d have convinced half the party to sing along.
