Kerman is launching the very first edition of an exceptional art and dance festival - Krossing Over Festival - invites the audience to an artistic journey throughout 03 districts of the city in 03 days. 07 chosen venues include art spaces, bookstore, café, for a unique experience merging dance with visual art, words, music and culinary art. 28 performances see a collaboration of perfomances from Vietnam and France altogether.
Each performance mixing dance and other arts will be performed at least 02 times in 02 different venues. The perfomances are using the space as a real partner to draw engagement of the audience to explore and to overcome the common frontal view of a show, then create a new kind a relationship with the public.
The final venue is Dancenter, with a unique set of 5 performances and the screening of 03 short films directed by choreographers.
One special note: One ticket is applicable to all performances at all showing schedule
