L'arnaqueuse - Tournée

L’arnaqueuse takes the stage in Lyon

From the vantage point of our stage team, L’arnaqueuse is the kind of live creation we love to host: a sharp, contemporary piece that turns everyday trust, identity, and ambition into combustible comedy and theatrical storytelling. The evening explores how a persona can be built, sold, and sometimes shattered in a world of instant payments and even faster judgments. With nimble character work, razor-edged timing, and a dramaturgy that moves like a thriller, the artist maps the emotional topography of a con: the charm that opens doors, the lies that keep them ajar, and the moment when truth insists on walking in. Audiences in Lyon can expect sleek staging that switches from intimate confession to high-octane satire in seconds, with sound and light cues snapping into place like digital notifications. We relish shows that invite spectators to laugh even as they piece together the puzzle in front of them, and L’arnaqueuse achieves that delicate balance—provocative without being cruel, playful yet piercingly human—right here at Bourse du Travail Lyon.

Current momentum and the live experience of L’arnaqueuse – Tournée

Artistically, the momentum behind L’arnaqueuse – Tournée has been palpable: new rooms discovering the set, returning fans hearing how the material has sharpened on the road, and fresh ideas flowing from stage to screen as short-form clips and long-form narratives cross-pollinate. What distinguishes this outing is the precision of its segment architecture. Rather than relying on a single anecdote, the performance ricochets through situations that feel instantly recognizable yet inventively heightened. You’ll hear riffs and fully fledged bits announced like chapters—sketches such as “Le Faux Virement,” “Profil Certifié,” “Service Client,” and “Le Rendez-vous Bancaire”—each folded into a wider narrative about risk, reinvention, and the price of keeping up appearances. The writing is taut, the physicality expressive, and the pacing engineered for live energy: quick pivots, cutaway asides, confidences murmured to the front rows, and moments when the room goes pin-drop quiet because a joke has led to a startling truth. That interplay between laughter and revelation is the engine of L’arnaqueuse, and we are delighted to present it in conditions designed to amplify every beat.

On our stage, the piece unfolds like a guided tour through modern persuasion: from the curated grid to the private message, from handshake civility to contractual fine print. Scenic elements are lean and modular—panels glide, projections flicker with receipts and chat bubbles, and the performer threads them together with a storyteller’s instinct. Our technical crew prepares a dynamic palette of cues: crisp vocal intelligibility for fleet dialogue, focused lighting for character swaps, and cinematic washes when the show zooms out to question the larger game. If you enjoy character-driven comedy threaded with theatrical craft, the live mix here is especially rewarding. You can sit back for the ride or lean in to catch micro-expressions and callbacks seeded early in the set; either way, the arc lands with satisfying clarity. Bringing L’arnaqueuse – Tournée to Lyon also means welcoming an audience that thrives on smart, topical work—people who recognize themselves in the hustle and the hesitation—and giving them a night that is by turns mischievous, empathetic, and rigorously entertaining.
