Gaïa

2026 production (Premiere on June 26th, 2026 – Festival Regarde! – Arès – Gironde – 33)

Seeing and listening the world differently

Gaïa, meaning “Mother Earth,” explores the ties that bind us to the environment. Playing with the instability of an original set design in perpetual motion, the performers attempt to find balance: poetry can then emanate here and there, at any moment.

With Gaïa, the Compagnie Bivouac invites us to look at the world differently, to understand it better and to question our relationship with living things. Ultimately, it is about perceiving the fragile power of a nature shaped by humans and imagining together how to experience it with sensitivity.
