EFAcast - Fabula Literature of the World Festival

In 2025, the festival will take place under the slogan Distorted Reality, reflecting the complexity of the modern world and exploring how literature disrupts and reshapes our perception of everyday life. This slogan is not just an aesthetic choice; it raises questions about how our understanding of the world is shaped by linguistic, cultural, and political frameworks. Literature serves as a tool to navigate these layers, revealing reality as fluid, subjective, and often manipulated. The central programme of literary evenings and the theoretical focus will feature authors whose works blur the boundaries between reality and irrationality, individual and collective experience, and the tangible and abstract.

Fabula also offers a rich accompanying programme for all generations. The Young Fabula programme engages children and young readers, while Fabula Polis brings interactive literary installations to public spaces. Collaborations with Slovenian publishers, bookstores, and libraries (Fabula Select), cross-genre projects blending literature with other arts (Fabula Beyond Literature), and initiatives fostering new literary voices (Fabula Hub) further enrich the programme. The international Fabula x CELA segment enhances European and global literary connections. With main events in Celje, Ljubljana, and Maribor, and additional activities across Slovenia, Fabula continues bridging communities and expanding access to high-quality literature.
