Since 2007, Métis'Gwa has been supporting the development of the contemporary circus in Guadeloupe, an art of mixing and meeting across the Caribbean and beyond.

Métis'Gwa accelerates unique artistic projects between the circus and the Caribbean, promoting creation, distribution, audience outreach, networking and training for artists. Métis'Gwa supports the emergence of Caribbean circus writing: a unique artistic language, combining circus practices and Caribbean identities, made up of encounters and intersections.

Depuis 2007, Métis’Gwa soutient le développement du cirque contemporain en Guadeloupe, un art du métissage et de la rencontre à l’échelle de la Caraïbe et au-delà.

Accélérateur de projets artistiques singuliers entre le cirque et la Caraïbe, Métis’Gwa favorise la création, la diffusion, la médiation auprès des publics, la mise en réseaux et la formation des artistes. Métis’Gwa accompagne l’émergence d’une écriture de cirque caribéen : un langage artistique unique, mêlant pratiques circassiennes et identités caribéennes, pétri de rencontres et de métissages.
