Edition 2025 — CloseUP Festival

The 2025 edition of CloseUP brought international contemporary circus, dance, and video to Crema's historic venues. The first edition of the Nelken Line, a tribute to Pina Bausch, involved over 60 participants in a procession that crossed the historic centre in single file.

The CloseUP 2025 festival confirmed its international vocation by bringing international contemporary circus and dance performances to Crema, in dialogue with the city's architectural heritage. Among the most moving moments was the first Nelken Line tribute to Pina Bausch, which saw over 60 people cross the historic centre in single file, repeating choreographic gestures inspired by nature, in collaboration with the Pina Bausch Foundation.
