first Credo Prize goes to: Petr Štědroň
The Lausitz Festival is presenting the Credo Prize for the first time.
The first Credo Prize will be presented to the Czech theatre director Petr Štědroň. He is being honoured for his long-standing commitment to art as a socially relevant force that is indispensable to our society.
The award ceremony itself is directly linked to an artistic performance. At the premiere to mark the opening of the festival on 25 August 2026 in the Church of St Peter and Paul in Görlitz, a »Credo« composed especially for the festival will be performed as part of Johann Sebastian Bach’s Mass in B minor.
