I SEA YOU Festival Kołobrzeg 2025

July 4 (Friday) The festival will begin at 2:00 p.m. with the opening of the photo exhibition "550 I SEA" by Marcin Matuszak and Tomasz Peukert – a unique combination of image and sound in the space of the Kołobrzeg lighthouse. Exhibition "Framing a Poem." Poetry and photography. Capturing the passing world. Marcin Rurek and Poezja Żywa. This will be followed by meetings with outstanding literary figures in a tent next to the lighthouse. We will hear José Luis González Macias and Lia Peinador, as well as Victor Terrazas with his sensual "Atlas of Distant Sounds.". The talks will be moderated by journalist and columnist Jarosław Gugała. In the evening, on the Main Stage in the Passenger Port, film music will be performed by I SEA YOU ORCHESTRA and Motion Trio, with the final piece "Orawa" by Wojciech Kilar. At 10 p.m., we will return to the lighthouse for a spectacular musical performance entitled "THE LIGHTHOUSE ACT," featuring an orchestra, Motion Trio, and highlanders from Bielsko-Biała playing traditional trumpets. July 5 (Saturday) The day will begin with an atmospheric concert, "Syreni Śpiew" (Mermaid Song), performed by Konrad Słoka and the Baltic Neopolis Quartet, which will put us in a reflective, maritime mood. The tent by the lighthouse will host further literary meetings, with Dr. Piotr Oleksy presenting his new book, "Odłamki gwiazd" (Fragments of Stars). In the evening, the charismatic Jazz Band Młynarski-Masecki will take us on a musical journey to pre-war Poland. The day will end with an unusual SILENT DISCO: four DJs, four soundtracks, and each participant decides what they hear in their headphones. July 6 (Sunday) The final day will begin poetically and artistically with a morning meeting with the Kołobrzeg Poets' Association and the Kołobrzeg Artists' Association in the space around the lighthouse. In the literary tent, we will meet Cezary Łazarewicz, author of the reportage "Morze i Ziemia" (Sea and Earth), and later Piotr Siemion, who will talk about his latest novel "Podrzutek" (The Foundling). The next meeting will be led by Jacek Cieślak, who will talk to Tor Eystein Øveras, author of the book "Bałtyk. Podróż literacka" ("The Baltic Sea: A Literary Journey"). In the evening, there will be a screening of the documentary film CHIM, directed by Grzegorz Lipiec, about the Asian tour of the band Hey. The festival will culminate with the highly anticipated concert of NOSOWSKA on the Main Stage – an artist who will once again prove that music can stir the deepest emotions.
