CROSS Festival 2026 is an invitation to seek and rediscover rhythm starting from within. In a world that pushes us towards urgency and visual saturation, the festival chooses to position itself in the fragile and ambiguous, yet luminous, territory of the invisible.
Contemplation, listening, enchantment, inner gaze: words that do not define a theme, but a state of being. They are clues to a path that does not seek to guide, but to predispose; that does not seek to impose meaning, but to open up a field of perception in which art can reveal itself in its transformative nature.
Once again this year, the festival presents a varied programme of dance shows, performances, workshops and gatherings. These experiences are accompanied by a new section: Notturno, the after-festival event conceived together with Alberto Ricca as a moment of sharing and decompression to enter the night through concerts, DJ sets and musical immersions.
