<u><strong>The Edinburgh Fringe Festival </strong></u></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Presenting a play at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Off is a great way to promote our work. It will allow us to present our new work, to meet programmers and audience members. We need to engage with theatre producers and tour managers in order to ensure future tours.</p>

<p>
<strong>Then why the Edinburgh Fringe Festival?</strong></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Each year, visitors from the four corners of the world arrive in Edinburgh to spend three exciting weeks watching the best international performances of opera, music, theatre and dance in the context of the International Festival and they also discover the work of emerging companies in the context of the Festival Fringe.</p>
<p>
The Sunday Times newspaper described it as a "real melting pot of artistic excellence" The Scotsman describes it as the 'flagship of Scotland » "Wonderful and indispensable... to lovers of culture who came from the end of the world" adds the Metro.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
The international dimension of the festival is important for the Theatre Transformations; <strong>Tracey boot </strong><strong>originally</strong><strong> from Scotland and now based in France</strong>, produces performances in french and English and plays in France and also in Canada, Britain and other foreign countries.</p>

<strong>Show description</strong></p>
<p>
Betty is a nervous but endearing young woman. She likes the simple pleasures of life. But now her new job starts to disrupt her safe and known universe. How will she juggle her amusements and her responsibilities? This show combines full-face mask, live music, text and mime. It’s humorous, poetic, and above all it exudes visual strength.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Betty knits. It’s her favourite pleasure. She knits, she makes mistakes, she drops stitches and she gets wrapped up in her wool ... oh what a tangled web she weaves! How like life, when we’re faced with choices, and don’t know which is the right one for our family and ourselves. </p>

<strong>The story </strong></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
"it is a cold winters day, a mitten has been lost in the snow...</p>
<p>
"Lost, but not for long as the frozen animals of the forest gather to share this little refuge".</p>
<p>
The animals talk about the difficulties they encounter, the severity of the winter, their snowy forest... One after another, discovering the mitten, they experience sharing, tolerance and especially solidarity. </p>
