XX th Festival Forfest Czech Republic 2009

International Festival of contemporary arts with spiritual orientation, each year in June:10 8 days with concerts, exhibitions, workshops, and lectures, with local and foreign artists. Pre-sentation of young composers and creative artists. Portraits of wellknown artists.

June 19 - 28, 2009, Kromeriz
Motto: The heart of hearts of man is the universe on a small scale with all the eruptions of supernovas, births and dooms of an inexhaustible abundance of worlds. We can find there both the tragedy of insignificance of our earthly existence and the dimension of divinity in ourselves. The tension between these two poles is a generating force of every creative power, a tantalizing expectation and catharsis of redemption.
