 To Love a Man Festival
Oswiecim / Auschwitz - Poland
Closing date: 21 December 2009
Festival dates: 28-30 January 2010
Fee none / up to 20 minutes length
This festival takes place on alternate years. The timing and arrangements
are similar each time.
It takes place in Oswiecim, Poland. Its slightly odd title means more when
you use the German form of the town's name: Auschwitz. The infamous Nazi
concentration camp there and in nearby Birkenau killed more than 1.1 million
people. The festival website says:
To Love a Man... is to show fleeting moments, time passing by and running
thoughts, letting them live their own life. The thoughts should last so that
they could outline the picture of man`s fate, despite all that brings people
together and what divides them. Let them show what has been important for
mankind, and what will never cease to exist, because it is not only “here
and now” but also “always and everywhere”.

- arousing love and respect for a man
