Fantasy is an indispensable endowment for an artist. An extraordinary weapon to tell another reality, perhaps the “true reality” as Franz Kafka said. Certainly a word that unites like few, since it is pronounced and understood in most of the world’s languages. The program of the 17th edition of the Festival is a contribution to the construction of a new reality; that unique cultural district that will have its consecration with Nova Gorica and Gorica European Capital of Culture 2025. Join us for a sustainable, multicultural and multilingual festival because if together we can imagine it then surely we can also create it!
