Background
Founded in 2003, Fabula Festival has hosted many modern classics: Herta Müller, Irvin Welsh, Jonathan Franz, Hanif Kureishi, David Grossman, Janice Galloway, Richard Flanagan, Taiye Selasi, Tatiana Tolstoy, Eric Vuillard, Rachel Cusk, Deborah Levy, Jokha Alharthi, Bernhard Schlink, Vladimir Sorokin, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and many others. The festival’s concept has evolved and improved throughout the years and is now based on a curator’s pick of five authors, who are already considered literary classics or who have made a significant mark on world literature in recent years with their work.
The virtual Q&A between Mieko Kawakami and Nagisa Moritoki Škof that was accompanied by a butoh performance by Darinka Pillari took place at the Cankarjev dom Club in 2022. It presented Summer Stories, the latest novel by Japanese author Mieko Kawakami - a portrait of contemporary womanhood in Japan.
Accompanying Programme
In addition to the literary part, the festival also has a theoretical focus, which each year questions a new relevant social topic. So far, Slavoj Žižek, Terry Eagleton, Chantal Mouffe, Eva Illouz, Jean-Claude Milner, Patrick Boucheron, Umberto Galimberti, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichieand others have been guests in the theoretical focus. Fabula Festival is also distinguished by an extremely varied accompanying program, which is intended for all generations of readers and brings everything from children's and youth programs (Young Fabula), interactive literary installations to public space (Fabula polis), collaborations with Slovenian publishers and bookstores (Fabula selection), genre intertwining between literature and theater and other art genres (Fabula outside literature), to projects establishing the festival as an incubator of new literary ideas and future literary trends (Fabula Hub), thus strengthening the space of the wider literary and social community.
