Spanish term or phrase: al margen de la oficialidad
Hello,

Looking for help with "al margen de la oficialidad"

Después de la dictadura franquista, los primeros años de democracia estuvieron más centrados en crear y afianzar estructuras (redes de teatros, centros públicos de producción, festivales, etc.). Sin embargo, al margen de la oficialidad y recogiendo el inestimable legado del teatro independiente y universitario de los años sesenta y setenta, se empezó a fraguar el conocido como movimiento de salas alternativas.

Any ideas would be welcome. Thanks!

on the fringe/s of officialdom

An option.
"away from officialdom"... "beyond officialdom"...

Example sentence(s):
  • ... as the bravado of a man on the fringes of officialdom...

on the periphery /ies / of official acceptability


Explanation:
Neilmac has already beaten me to the 'Edinburgh' Fringe.

The oficialidad I take to be accepted convention, such as the backlash against the stage play in London of The Romans in Britain exactly 40 years ago, triggering obscenity clean-up campaigner Mrs. Mary Whitehouse's doomed UK private prosecution for 'gross indecency'- rather than any breach of official regulation pertaining to the theatre post-Franco era.

Note that 'al margen de' also means borderline, rather than outside.

Example sentence(s):
  • The periphery of acceptability is an energetic construct very important to examine on one's journey inward.
  • The Snooper's Charter: a death sentence for those working at the fringe of acceptability?

neutral  Andrew Bramhall: This answer is Beyond the Fringe, or even it's latter-day spoof, 'Behind the fridge!! (lol)- but 'borderline acceptability' would have been a more acceptable answer , based on elements you posted, than your actual answer which smacks of a neologism to me.

independently of formality


Explanation:
Ejemplo de uso:

Here, "formality" is in contrast with movimiento de salas "alternativas".

In the sidelines


Explanation:
Perhaps it has less to do with officialdom than the movement fact that is slightly outside the official/government stance
