The generational comparison and the combination of various scenic languages ​​are the central themes of Festival Orizzonti Verticali – Arti sceniche in cantiere which took place from July 5 to 9, 2017 in San Gimignano and Poggibonsi. Five days of theatre, dance, performances, music, literature and meetings, in the spirit of the interdisciplinarity of the arts.

This fifth edition of the Festival hosted national and international artists coming from various experiences and belonging to different generations of the contemporary scene: theatre directors, choreographers, actors, dancers, performers, musicians, visual artists and writers, able to create connections, or highlight rifts, towards new forms of language through confrontation, dialogue and experimentation.

A rich programme of events that took place in charming locations, from San Gimignano medieval architecture to the Medici Fortress in Poggibonsi, combining the memory of a rooted and tangible past with a contemporaneity all to be discovered.
