In a foregoing paper, gravity has been interpreted as the pressure force exerted on matter at the scale of elementary particles by a perfect fluid. Under the condition that Newtonian gravity must be recovered in the incompressible case, a scalar field equation has thus been proposed for gravity, giving a new theory in the compressible case. Here the theory is reinterpreted so as to describe the relativistic effects, by extending the Lorentz-Poincar\'e interpretation of special relativity which is first recalled. Gravitational space-contraction and time-dilatation are postulated, as a consequence of the principle of local equivalence between the effects of motion and gravitation. The space-time metric (expressing the proper time along a trajectory) is hence curved also in the proposed theory. As the result of a modified Newton law, it is proved that free test particles follow geodesic lines of this metric. In the spherical static situation, Schwarzschild's exterior metric is exactly recovered and with it the experimental support of general relativity, but the interior solution as well as the problematic of singularities are different in the proposed theory, e.g. the radius of the body cannot be smaller than the Schwarzschild radius.
