The Veramente PanForico Festival was born from the fusion of two well-established cultural experiences rooted in the Trentino region: the Pan Festival of Riva del Garda and the Euforia Circus Festival of Trento. The meeting of these two projects has given rise to a multidisciplinary cultural event that enriches the artistic and tourist offering of Garda Trentino, enhancing the territory through contemporary, accessible languages capable of engaging diverse audiences.
The festival unfolds over three days of live programming, during which contemporary circus, theatre, dance, music, performance, talks, and workshops intertwine, transforming urban and natural spaces into places of encounter, discovery, and participation. The program is designed for a broad and diverse audience of residents, visitors, and tourists, offering high-quality, inclusive, and easily accessible cultural experiences.
The theme of this edition, “Mentite Spoglie” (False Appearances), interprets nudity as a metaphor for authenticity and relationship, inviting audiences to move beyond roles, masks, and conventions in order to foster a genuine encounter between people, artistic practices, and the territory. In this sense, the festival becomes a space of sharing that strengthens both the sense of community and the emotional bond with the places that host it.
