Festival Piambello dal Vivo — Cremenaga

The festival that tells the story of Valceresio

Piambello dal Vivo is the distributed festival that, from May to December, transforms the places of Valceresio into a stage: squares, woods, villas, paths, and historic sites become open-air theatres. Among the twelve municipalities involved is also Cremenaga, in the province of Varese, which hosts some events on the calendar at the evocative Baita degli Alpini.

Street theatre and contemporary circus

The shows coming to Cremenaga belong to the world of street theatre and contemporary circus: spectacular and accessible languages, designed to engage audiences of all ages. The setting of the Baita degli Alpini, immersed in the pre-alpine landscape, adds charm to evenings and afternoons of wonder and fun.

A distributed and free festival

Promoted by Intrecci Teatrali together with the Cooperativa Sociale Il Sorriso, with the artistic direction of Andrea Gosetti, Piambello dal Vivo offers over 32 free shows throughout the year, with the aim of telling the story of the territory through performances and the places that host them. All events are free admission.

Culture in the Prealps

For a small municipality like Cremenaga, hosting the Piambello dal Vivo shows means becoming part of a large cultural project that enhances Valceresio and its communities. An opportunity to experience live art in a unique natural setting, amidst the mountains and villages of the Varesotto region.
