The award aims to promote investigation and artistic expressions related to the combination of different styles and genres, considering multi-language practices and the mix of techniques and codes pertaining to the various performing arts as reward factors.  The goal of the competition is to identify new productions - completely unpublished - that put in dialogue the language of the body and of the stage performance with musical composition, without any restrictions or constraints of kind, category or practice. In addition, in the year 2019 CROSS wants to support the productions that will favor the relationship with the territory both through projects that deal with the theme of the landscape, themes that are generally environmental or that can meet the community. There are no limits on how to share with the territory, the practices and the artistic disciplines.
