Their original goal since 1997 has been the promotion and encouragement of contemporary playwriting. Today the festival has expanded: the Twelfth Contemporary Drama Festival wants to familiarize the audience and
critics
with the new paths and developments of European
playwriting
, so far unknown here in Hungary.




The Festival will also introduce Hungarian and foreign critics to progressive workshops that are keeping pace with the
various

movements
and changes of our contemporary
theatre
. In other words, we are searching for the new, the progressive even in the contemporary.
