MYSTICA SALVAJE

Our experience is infused with countless hours dedicated to contemplative practices coming from both actual and ancient currents: Yoga, Martial-Arts, Buddhism, Tantrism and Shamanism meeting more recent disciplines of somatic, psychological and emotional self-exploration: .

It is nourished by the cultural contrast of the 5 continents.

Its roots spread in the living silence of trees, wind, stones, fire, sun and water.

These learnings have deeply transformed our relationship with the world. WIdening our vision, they left our bodies vibrant and our lives enchanted. Filling our heart with the renewed conviction that conscious art has a role to play in the awakening of the world.

In poetic resistance to a normative and mortifying society, we strive to awaken in our creations the original principles of sacred art.
We are in service of an art that enlightens, nourishes and connects.
In service of the human being.
In service of the Earth.
In service of life.

Pioneer of the arts of fire, long-time traveller, lover of the earth and the feminine, Jean Michel was at the origin of the renowned Fire Show Company “La Salamandre” which was founded in 1990.

After decades of incredible collaborations and fiery performances across more than 40 countries, in 2013 he co-created “Hestia’s Daughter” and the Cie Mystica Salvaje. Which he has been directing with Yohanna Biojout until 2019.

He owes to his practice of dance, meditation and martial arts the charisma of his stage presence.

Singer, multi-instrumentalist, dancer and educator, Yuna is an eclectic artist. She practices cello, lyrical and jazz singing, contemporary dance, theatre… Her musical and choreographic identity is nourished by the many formations and encounters that have marked her career as well as the various artists and works that have marked her. Very early on, she was fascinated by world music and electronic music. Through a game of imitation and improvisation, she developed the vocal and rhythmic techniques that define her own style.

Dancer, singer and choreographer Yohanna is also a creator of inflamed accessories, set designer or costume designer in her time. For more than 20 years, playing with fire has been one of his favourite explorations… on stage, in the studio and in life!

Yogini, meditante, somatonaute and tantrica Yohanna has one foot in the universe of the spectacle, the other in that of the psycho-bodily exploration of the human.

She has always been passionate about the role of impulse and symbolism in the alchemy of our inner world, the play of meaning and sensation in our capacity for resilience and transformation. They lead him to consider the healing aspect of art and to direct his creations in this direction.

His artistic language is also nourished by the magical-poetic dialogue that humans have with the forces of nature.

She is now the artistic director of the company.

Singer-songwriter and professional musician since 1996 Martin has participated in many creations in Europe and Asia: humanitarian projects, concerts, albums and shows for young and old. Multi-instrumentalist versed among others in the art of Mongolian singing, Indian tablas and bansouri flutes and Kena he is also an inspired teacher with percussion courses, Mongolian diphonic songs and musical awakening. His art is constantly renewed by the cultural richness of all the encounters along his path.

• ECOLOGY.
The Earth is our global, collective body. The human body is our individual earth. At the center of our approach is this path of recognition of the link between our body and that of our "Mother-Earth"; the connection between respecting our inner, intuitive and sensory dimension - our "feminine" side- and respecting the balance of Gaia.

• THE WONDER
We want to deliver a message whose poetic power can awaken the child within. By awakening the senses, the aesthetic emotion and the dreamer fiber -even the heroic one!- to re-enchant our vision of the world.

• A PRACTICE OF ATTENTION.
Slowing down… The contemplative, meditative and even hypnotic state initiated by slowness changes our perceptive experiences. It gives us access to this sensitive place of inner silence and allows us an intimate encounter with our depths.

• ART AND RITUAL
Whether it is initiator, of passage or celebration the rite offers us the possibility of an inner transformation anchored in the collective experience. The forms and structures we borrow from the ritual world allow us to give back to living art this essential dimension.

• A HEALING ART?
By adding to these sensitive and emotional experiences a symbolic dimension we wish to speak the language of the unconscious and turn the "the tale ritual" or "the show" into a true restorative fiction.

• THE ARTIST’S POSTURE.
The artist is a vector, its main tool is presence, transparency, openness… The artist’s inner alchemy touches the viewer and leads him to move himself.

• HYBRID FORMS
From the visionary strength of ancestral and wild cultures to the improbable landscapes of contemporary life we wish to mix our varied universes and use everything that can feed our creations. Abundance will be found in cultural sources but also in the proposed forms… Concert-ceremony, performance-workshop, dance-meditation, yoga-music-tale… No separation that holds!
