STN:ORT 2023
For the seventh time, the Stn:ort Festival invites its international audience of all ages to participate in a select and stimulating programme of concerts, discussions, workshops, installations, art, theatre, author readings and networking meetings with delicious food in the most beautiful location. Directly at the harbour of Sztynort, not far from the castle, cultural workers from different countries will present their programme in an open atmosphere for four days and invite you and you alone to participate. Thanks to free entry and open structures, the festival invites you to linger, explore and participate. All those interested are welcome to attend. For pronunciation: STN:ORT Festival leaves it up to visitors whether they want to say Steinort-Festival or Sztynort-Festival – for STN they may choose the missing letters themselves.
The Festival Motto
This year’s motto “Circles, Circles and Bubbles” is at the same time an analysis, a question and a vision of the future of our society. How can we create dialogue, cooperation and community in a society that often seems to be divided into “circles, circles and bubbles”? How can we prevent exclusion and exclusivity and open space for authentic encounter? And can our society learn from the circularity and cycles in nature to counter the climate catastrophe?
The Castle
A ruin? A building site? A monument? A place of remembrance? Or simply a special PLACE around which we like to meet again and again to come together, and at the same time to gain distance? Steinort Castle in the present-day village of Sztynort, around which the STN:ORT Festival is organised, is an important German-Polish cultural heritage with great cultural value: this stems on the one hand from its history and architecture, and on the other hand from the binational efforts to reinvent and rebuild it. The castle is also a symbol of resistance to the Nazi regime: Steinort’s last lord of the castle, Count Heinrich von Lehndorff, was involved in the failed Stauffenberg assassination attempt on Adolf Hitler on 20 July 1944; he was executed by the Nazis for his complicity.
The Location
Its geographical proximity to the Kaliningrad Oblast, Lithuania, Belarus and Ukraine, as well as its location in former East Prussia, make Sztynort a testimony to cultural interconnectedness. The festival builds on this through its international orientation, its passion for cultural inspiration and the idea of community. Sztynort itself is situated in the midst of beautiful nature and the Masurian Lake District, offers access to Lake Mamry through Port Sztynort and is thus in the middle of a popular holiday region known for its diverse flora and fauna.
