Since 2007, Métis’Gwa has supported the development of contemporary circus in Guadeloupe, an art of mixture and of encounters on the scale of the Caribbean and beyond.

Incubator of unique artistic projects between the circus and the Caribbean, Métis'Gwa promotes creation and distribution, public mediation, networking and training of artists. Métis'Gwa accompanies the emergence of Caribbean circus writing: a unique artistic language, fusing circus practices and Caribbean identities, full 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.
