EartHeart, as the play on words in English suggests, combines the word heart with the word earth: the heart is the engine of the body, it is the beating of life, and like him, the earth too has a heart, multiplied by all the dimensions in which the life manifests itself.

The project foresees the involvement of the dancers of the Company with a specific ecosystem and local communities. The need is to return to listening to nature to rediscover archetypal landscapes, inner horizons and renewed listening, grafting parallels and combinations between landscapes and  landscape, interior and musical, and to rediscover our roots, psychophysical habits, social and natural identities, practices and traditions linked to the territory of belonging. An in situ research aimed at collecting material for a theatrical reworking, documented in three videos for each experience.

CROSS welcomed the fifth EartHeart experience, of which the leading artist was Vincenzo Criniti, that took place on Lake Orta. Here nature has dreamlike and surreal connotations and accompanies the dancer through a path of investigation into himself in parallel with a human and spiritual confrontation with the Franciscan Friars of the Convent of Monte Mesma.
