Petr Štědroň to receive Credo award
Der tschechische Theatermacher Petr Štědroň ist der erste Preisträger des vom Lausitz Festival vergebenen Credo-Preises. Er gilt Kulturschaffenden, die von einem starken Glauben an die Kraft der Kunst für die Gesellschaft durchdrungen sind.
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.
