Gus Illusionniste - Givré - Tournée

Gus brings Givré to our Lyon stage

From our vantage point as a Lyon performance hall dedicated to live wonder, we are thrilled to welcome Gus with his new show Givré, a highlight of the current tournée that has been energizing audiences across the country. The moment the first audience members step into our foyer, there is a buzz that only a master illusionist can generate: a promise of sleight-of-hand up close, theatrical set pieces that shimmer under precision lighting, and an atmosphere where laughter and astonishment meet. For our team, Givré is the kind of production that plays perfectly to the strengths of our stage in central Lyon—clear sightlines, an intimate connection to the performer, and the technical capabilities to support refined visual storytelling. Gus blends crisp, contemporary magic with a warm, playful rapport, making the evening accessible for families, groups of friends, and seasoned magic enthusiasts alike. As the tournée arrives in Lyon, we are preparing the best possible conditions for a show designed to spark curiosity and ignite conversation long after the curtain call.

What makes Givré special on our Lyon stage

Gus’s artistic momentum is unmistakable this season. The Givré tournée signals a new chapter in his repertoire: routines shaped by a taste for clean, visual impossibilities and an elegant sense of rhythm that keeps each sequence flowing into the next. Without revealing secrets, we can attest to the show’s wide palette—intimate pieces with borrowed objects that flourish just meters from the front rows; interactive moments that draw spectators into the heartbeat of the performance; and larger, theatrical illusions whose impact is heightened by the clarity of our stage picture. Gus’s hallmark humor is present throughout, but always in service of the mystery, as if each punchline were a feint leading to a deeper surprise. His online presence has underscored this evolution, with new clips showcasing tech-inflected magic and everyday impossibilities resonating widely. In Lyon, these ideas take on a fresh texture: live, tangible, guided by a performer who knows how to read a room, ride the wave of anticipation, and time a reveal to perfection.

From our side of the curtain, preparing to host Givré means calibrating the experience as carefully as the illusions themselves. Our crew coordinates a crisp visual environment that frames Gus’s gestures and expressions; our sound design focuses on clarity so that whispered asides and audience reactions become part of the storytelling; and our stage team ensures the transitions carry the momentum forward without breaking the spell. We anticipate a lively mix of spectators, including first-time visitors to live magic and devoted followers of the tournée, and we encourage guests to arrive with open minds and a readiness to participate—volunteering is part of the fun, and Gus excels at making everyone feel at ease. Lyon’s love of live performance runs deep, and Givré taps into that tradition with a show that is both polished and personal. As the lights dim and the first effect blossoms onstage, the city outside seems to fall away, replaced by Gus’s singular world: playful, sleek, and—true to its name—deliciously cool.
