Gaïa
2026 production
Show a living scenographic material in constant dialogue with the bodies, where one inspires the other. Reveal the alchemy that exists in all living things.
Gaïa, whose title evokes “Mother Earth”, will showcase a living scenographic material in permanent dialogue with bodies, where humans and non-humans mutually inspire each other without dominance on either side. The environment will have a voice, and we’ll be using a system of microphones and digital sensors to give voice to the ambient sounds inside and out.
Until recently, human beings were preoccupied with how they inhabited the world. But having weakened, damaged and destroyed it, we’re now asking ourselves how we can survive this environment.
With Gaïa, we hope to raise awareness through an immersive experience of the living world. This creation will allow us to experience the multitude of singularities that nature brings into play. By taking part in this process, we hope to share with audiences our way of seeing our ecosystem as a space made up of plural worlds resonating together.
