Le Gang Des Chieuses - Tournée

Le Gang des Chieuses at Bourse du Travail Lyon

As a stage dedicated to strong voices and evenings that stick in the memory, we are delighted to welcome Le Gang des Chieuses to Bourse du Travail Lyon for a stop on its tournée. Expect a live experience that blends razor-sharp observation, theatrical rhythm, and the irresistible chemistry of performers who know exactly how to turn everyday pressure points into laugh-out-loud release. The show’s pulse beats with stories of friendship, work, love, and self-respect, served with irony and warmth in equal measure. From the first lights to the final bows, the staging favors a pace that is brisk yet generous, inviting the audience to recognize themselves in moments both tender and outrageous. Designed to be as relatable as it is cathartic, Le Gang des Chieuses mines the realities of modern life—digital dating, the so-called “mental load,” awkward office politics, and the delicate art of saying no—and shapes them into sequences that glide from punchline to punch-in-the-gut truth. The result is a feel-good assembly of wit, solidarity, and uninhibited self-expression, tailor-made for a Lyon audience ready to celebrate a night out together.

Artistic momentum and what to expect on stage

Le Gang des Chieuses arrives with a momentum that comes from a growing community and a live format honed on the road. The tournée gives the troupe room to keep the material alive, to refine transitions, and to sharpen interactions with the crowd so that no two performances feel quite the same. Here, the stage becomes a conversation: hilarious confessions bounce off quick-fire comebacks; a knowing nod in the balcony can ripple into a running gag for the entire room. The writing asserts a personality that is at once mischievous and sincere, while the direction favors clean, nimble shifts—tight blackouts, musical stingers that frame the punch, and lighting cues that carve the space for each voice. This is a show that champions confidence without losing tenderness, that laughs at chaos while quietly celebrating resilience. Whether you come with friends for a night of gleeful complicity or solo for a much-needed dose of unapologetic energy, the live encounter in Lyon will feel immediate and generous. Above all, it is an invitation to drop the mask for an evening and revel in the thrill of recognition, where humor becomes both mirror and meeting point.

From our vantage point, part of the excitement lies in how Le Gang des Chieuses embraces the city it visits. For Bourse du Travail Lyon, that means a performance attuned to the room’s heartbeat: entrances designed to land with impact, crisp sound for punchlines and asides, and sightlines that keep the action readable from the front rows to the gods. The audience is an essential collaborator—snappy, spontaneous moments and subtle glances carry just as much weight as the scripted beats, especially during sections that lean into improvisation or playful audience acknowledgment. The tournée edition you’ll see here draws on the ensemble’s shared language—sharp timing, vivid physicality, and a flair for reframing daily life into the kind of story you retell on the way home. We recommend arriving in good time to settle in and catch the electric pre-show atmosphere that tends to build with this production; the energy truly lifts when the house lights dim and the first line lands. Lyon, prepare for an evening of laughter, candor, and contagious camaraderie that celebrates the spirit promised by its title—delivered live, with style.
