Yé ! (L'Eau)
To tell about the capacity of Man to insist, to start over, to invent. What if the corners of a world in ruins became the setting for a rebirth? Another end of the world is possible. This is what these bodies are saying. Drawing from the source of creativity, the artists, acrobats and dancers take the spectator, along the water, on a journey of numerous environmental challenges.
From the ground to flight, beyond reason, these acrobatic birds transport us and question us about the climate emergency, the loss of bearings, the questioning of reality. Every existence is torn between the desire to rise and the fear of falling.
Ye! calls us TOGETHER, to build a world of tomorrow that will take care of nature and its future.

Circus Baobab is a collective of circus artists from Guinea and the diaspora, mixing the traditional modes of expression of the African circus and the new writings of the contemporary circus. Founded in 1998 on an idea by Laurent Chevallier, the Circus Baobab company benefited from the very beginning from the artistic support of Pierrot Bidon, former director of Archaos.
He directed several company shows. It is under the direction and production of Mory Diallo and Isabelle Sage that the Franco-Guinean relationship will take shape and will never cease to nourish the circus community and creations.
The company offers cultural mediation actions such as street circus foot workshops, awareness and initiation to acrobatics, street show performance, etc.

Le Monde
“The artists, aged between 18 and 32, have been living and training in Marseille since the start of the Yé ! tour of France in spring 2022. Wherever they perform, the atmosphere is electric. Acrobatic lifts propelling them into the air, vertiginous human pyramids, hand-to-hand combat and contortions follow one another in a frenetic rhythm. The acrobats engage in brawls over plastic water bottles that leave them breathless. Although the tableaux have an apocalyptic air, Yann Ecauvre's direction is pared down.”
Télérama
“The great Guinean collective is back with this acrobatic creation full of punch, blending traditional expressions with a great deal of modernity. On stage, bodies jump, soar, flutter, spin, clump and form pyramids. With Yé! ("Water" in Soussou), the thirteen young artists also ask us - joyfully but terribly - about essential environmental issues.”
France 24
“Faced with the spectacular acrobatics that follow one another at a sometimes frenetic pace, punctuated by the flashes of a stroboscope and an urban-influenced musical composition, you could almost forget that you are witnessing a "succession of beautiful, very real dramas". On either side of the aisle that crosses the big top and serves as a stage for the acrobats, empty, crushed plastic bottles litter the floor. Around them crystallise all the tensions generated by access to the increasingly scarce resource that gives the show its title, water ("Yé" in the Soussou language).”
RFI
“A high-flying acrobatic performance with no safety net. Somewhere between hip-hop dance, electronic music and aerial pyramids, these bird-artists from Circus Baobab take the audience along the water in their show Yé!”
France 24
“"Circus Baobab has become a springboard for many young people, a social circus that juggles art and rehabilitation".”
Toute La Culture
“"Artists as well as athletes, of all sizes, with their Guinean origin and their former status as street children in common, long forgotten, integrated by high-level African and French professionals".”
Un Fauteuil Pour l'Orchestre
“"The impressive human pyramids alternating with breathtaking aerial acrobatics invite us to transcend our instinctive selfishness and transform it into a collective force".”
Les Echos
“"Yé! (water)" mixes circus, dance, contortion and song without a moment's pause. Certain scenes stand out, such as the attempt to pass through an imaginary door and its two guards, ending in a deluge of jumps and capers. Or the figures in which the dancers go right up to the theatre's arches before ending up rolling.”
