In the dark of a summer night, a warm flicker and then another and another. The night briefly fills with the luminescence of fireflies. Just like the elusive spark of the firefly, childhood is brief and magical. Fireflies on the Fringe is a performing arts festival for young audiences where professional and emerging artists bring wonder and magic to the stage for our youngest theatre goers.

Featured at the prestigious Edinburgh Fringe Festival, At the End of Kaliyuga is a vibrant, visually rich performance that transports audiences into a cosmic courtroom where Brahma the Creator, Vishnu the Preserver, and Shiva the Destroyer debate the fate of humanity as Earth nears the end of its final cycle. Will the world be reborn—or vanish forever? Blending the grace of Bharatanatyam dance with the playful spirit of clowning, this lively solo show weaves humor, mythology, and movement to spark empathy and critical thinking in young minds.
