CROSS Festival that develops in between Verbania and Cannobio, is born from the experience of the Festival ‘Villaggio d’Artista’ and the success of the CROSS project and the CROSS Award.
The Festival is a reference point for the performing arts, wants to contribute to the international debate, which today must be considered as fundamental assumptions of research, curiosity towards linguistic experimentation and a responsibility towards the social context in which it’s born.
CROSS Festival sees as a necessity that in the society the artist takes a role of responsibility and this allows us, through his/her visions, to understand the world in which we live. We are interested in crossing not only different expressions, but also fields of knowledge, art, politics, social commitment, body, to investigate today’s most visionary expressions.
Central space of the CROSS Festival is Il Maggiore – the new theatre of the town of Verbania – born with the aim of being the beating heart of the territory’s activities.
