Vertigo Summer Festival

The first edition of the Vertigo Summer Festival

The first edition of the Vertigo Summer Festival was held in Cocconato (Asti) from July 3 to 6, 2025, featuring fifteen international companies and artists. The artistic direction was led by Paolo Stratta.

The opening, on Thursday, July 3, was headlined by tightrope walker Andrea Loreni with "Tracing the Sky," a walk on an 80-meter-long cable suspended about 20 meters above Piazza Giordano. Highlights of the edition included the "Vertigo Galà 25" by the Fondazione Cirko Vertigo and the roaming show "Come angeli dal cielo" by Silence Teatro and Fondazione Cirko Vertigo. Numerous circus, aerial dance, juggling, and puppetry performances took place in the courtyards and squares of the historic center, all free of charge with reservations via the blucinQue Nice app.
