We use the transgression formula to find out a new fully covariant and global Lagrangian for Chern--Simons gravity: the price for establishing globality is hidden in a bimetric (or biconnection) structure. Such a formulation allows to calculate from a global and simpler viewpoint the energy-momentum complex and the superpotential both for Yang--Mills and gravitational examples.12 pages,LaTeX, to appear in Journal of Physics AHigh Energy Physics - TheoryGeneral Relativity and Quantum CosmologyMathematical PhysicsA covariant formalism for Chern-Simons gravitytext
