Symbiosis

Featuring on stage: Clara Quesne, Ema Medina, Sasha Gabriel, Idris Rebah, Josue Pesnel, Lucas Olivier Clauzel Following the success of its first edition, Symbiose returns with a second chapter that is more assertive, more embodied, and more radical in its artistic direction. Symbiose II does more than simply continue the adventure—it amplifies it, placing women’s hairstyling at the heart of its vision, without ever compromising on the technical excellence and unique style that have become the event’s hallmark.For this edition, six artists—each an undisputed leader in their field—bring their distinct worlds together around a single challenge: to reveal, using the same tools, the infinite range of stylistic possibilities for both men and women. Gamma Piu supports each of them in this quest, providing the creative space necessary for them to express their artistic vision. Clara explores volumes and shapes, sculpting the hair with a distinctly feminine sensibility. Lucas infuses women’s hairstyles with British rock energy, blending attitude with elegant rebellion. Alongside them, four exceptional barbers bring their unique perspectives to men’s hairstyling: Idris, at the crossroads of casual fashion hairstyling and the codes of the French underground. Ema, whose Latin flair, sunny spirit, and extraordinary technique redefine the art of the haircut. Josué, who sculpts curves and volume in perfect harmony with every feature of the male face. Sasha, a standard-bearer for French excellence, offering millimeter-precise, everyday chic for the trendiest hairstyles. For the duration of the show, these six artists will share the stage with both female and male models, bringing their respective worlds into dialogue to create a true harmony of styles. It’s a powerful way to affirm that barbering and women’s hairstyling are not opposing worlds, but are much closer than one might imagine. Symbiosis II: when six signature styles come together to redefine, as one, the boundaries of style. A perfect fusion of exceptional women’s hairstyling and high-end barbering design.

Obscura

This story explores the release of invisible presences that symbolize the fears, anxieties, and burdens that each of us carries within us without always recognizing them. By opening a mysterious music box, a young girl triggers the appearance of these entities, which gradually take root in her daily life, her actions, and her silences. Part dark fairy tale, part psychological metaphor, this story invites the viewer to reflect on the shadows that accompany us and their discreet yet persistent presence in our lives.
