Wednesday, 07-08-2019 18:30, palace hall/ music Yegor Zabelov, Accordion (BLR), Solo concert of the legendary underground composer and accordion virtuous from Belarus. The melodies of Yegor Zabelov sound like live-storytelling. If they remind of Jack Kerouac’s stream-of-consciousness writing, they are richer in the intensity of sorrow, longing, hope and love. With his instrument, like with a third lung, the artist fills the concert hall with exceptional emotional density. The concert is sponsored by Familie Ina and Wessel Heukamp, who came to visit us in the previous year and decided to support us generously. Co-funding comes from Stiftung Deutsch-Polnische Zusammenarbeit/ Fundacja Współpracy Polsko-Niemieckiej.

Playwright, director, casting: Jakub Maiński; cast Thorsten Münchow, Paul Boche, Kalle Pearlmutter, Oskar Hamerski, Julian Mere, Joanna Węglicka, Maja Luxenberg, Jakub Maiński. In his debut play, Jakub Mainski (1984, Warsaw) doesn’t give his audience a vacation from human and social dilemmas. Not in a place like Sztynort: The palace of Sztynort in 1935. A meeting with extended family, members of the East Prussian aristocracy, at the dinner table. Changes are on the way – in the world and in the own family. A new party, a new genealogical alliance. Whose side is to be taken? Whom to believe? How do own family traditions and individual values correspond to the idea about a new society, about a “better” human”? The play speaks about identity, morality, difference. It casts a critical eye at the difficulty of being a member of the social elites in times of social renewal according to racial ideologies. The play is acted by a cast of renowned actors from Poland and Germany. The event is co-funded by the Lehndorff-Gesellschaft Steinort e.V. and the Stiftung Deutsch-Polnische Zusammenarbeit. Sponsorship for the professional 360° VR- recording of the play is provided by King Cross/ Nowy Sztynort. The live recording can be booked via the organizers. Saturday, 10-08-2019 18:30-20:00, palace hall/ PL, DT, ENG/ music Kinderlieder. Concert of classical children’s songs in Polish, Englisch, and German. With Barbarą Zamek (soprano), Hauke Renken (vibraphone), Krzysztof Guzewicz (percussion) Natalia Czekała (piano). This unusual transnational quartet comes together solely for the occasion of the festival. The artists combine the classical concert format with improvisation and have enough courage to invite the audience to participate at the end. In a novel instrumental arrangement, we’ll hear new and familiar childhood melodies in the atmospheric hall of the old palace. The event is sponsored by Deutsche Botschaft in Warschau Sunday, 11-08-2018 10:00-14:00, in front of the palace, food Big Stn:ort Soup, following the local tradition of excellent soups, together we’ll prepare one big pan of soup from locally sourced ingredients. 18:30-19.30, palace hall/ PL/ theatre Kabaret Uniwersytetu Trzeciego Wieku w Węgorzewie, we’ll experience the second festival performance of the most likable and talented lay acting group round town: the Cabaret Theatre of the Third Age University of Węgorzewo. 20:00-24:00, in front of the palace/ music & dance Afterparty-Disco, oh yes, at the end of the festival we’ll dance under the stars.
