PWF 2012 | Theme

22. Prague Writers' Festival  |  14 – 18  April  2012  |  National Theatre  |  New Stage


Next year’s Festival will focus on the future—with the theme:

“Only the future exists.”

In the past, the future appeared bright. Now the future appears gray.

If the present seems hysterical—the future casts a shadow.

It seems that many elements of early twentieth-century Futurism—

violence, speed, destruction—preside today.

How extraordinary to recall Marinetti’s speculation of a “wireless imagination”.

If the present is the “unlived past”—why trust the future?
