The festival is focused on the works penned by Gombrowicz, who often used deep psychological insights, paradoxes, absurdist language and event anti-nationalist themes.

He wrote critically about the youth and Polish culture in general.

While he only gained recognition near the end of his days, today he is regarded as a main figure in Polish literary life.
