eVenti Verticali
Born from a dream of dancing on a flying wall, Italy’s eVenti Verticali is under the artistic direction of Luca and Andrea Piallini who in 2006 united their performing careers: one based in theater, the other in circus and acrobatics. FirstWorks presented "Quadro" at PVDFest 2019.

Vertical Theatre brings together theatre and circus, dance and music, and new technologies. Adapted to impressive vertical locations, eVenti Verticali inspires investigations of force, gravity, balance and architecture. In a slow game of changing perceptions: the horizontal and vertical planes intertwine in a sort of perspective illusion.
