We are delighted to present this year’s edition of the festival: Contemplating the Invisible – Performing Arts and Spirituality, taking place from June 12 to 21 in Verbania, Bee, and Nebbiuno.
CROSS Festival 2026 begins as an invitation to rediscover the time for inner reflection. In a world that pushes us toward urgency, toward constant production and visual overload, the festival chooses to position itself in the fragile and luminous realm of contemplation.
Contemplation, listening, enchantment, inner gaze: words that do not define a theme, but a state of being. They are clues to a journey that does not seek to guide, but to prepare; that does not seek to impose a meaning, but to open up a field of perception in which art can reveal itself in its transformative nature.
Introducing NOTTURNO, the CROSS after-festival
This year CROSS expands further and launches Notturno — the CROSS after-festival, a new evening space dedicated to music, sociality and discovery. Each night, until midnight, the Atelier of Casa Ceretti in Verbania will host a different atmosphere, in an informal yet curated environment of listening, encounters and sharing.
