Amandine Lourdel - Renversée - Tournée

Amandine Lourdel – Renversée at PALAIS DE LA MUTUALITE - EDOUARD HERRIOT

As a historic stage dedicated to powerful, contemporary voices, PALAIS DE LA MUTUALITE - EDOUARD HERRIOT is delighted to welcome Amandine Lourdel with Renversée as part of the Tournée. From the moment our doors open, our team’s focus is to frame the artist’s world with care: sightlines that reveal every expression, sound design that follows the finest nuance, and a room that sustains the electric hush before the first line lands. Renversée thrives on proximity and precision, and our auditorium’s natural clarity helps the writing breathe while keeping the pace taut. Lyon’s audiences appreciate craft as much as charisma; we see it each night in the way a collective silence turns to laughter, and in the conversations that spill into the foyer long after the curtain call. Hosting this date is an opportunity to spotlight Amandine’s sensitivity to rhythm and timing, to support a set that moves from sharp observation to unguarded confession, and to make space—literally and figuratively—for a performance built to surprise.

Renversée is a portrait of our contradictions, staged with a generosity that invites spectators to recognize themselves without ever feeling pointed at. From our vantage point backstage, we watch how the evening is paced: an opening that sketches the rules of Amandine’s game, a mid-show pivot that reframes what we think we’re watching, and a finale that earns its warmth. The writing favors detail over gimmick, the staging favors presence over adornment, and the result is a momentum you can feel from balcony to stalls. On our stage, the minimalism is intentional: a microphone, a body that understands the room, and lighting cues that trace emotional contours rather than overwhelm them. Our technical crew has embraced the show’s clean aesthetic, calibrating light temperatures to match tonal shifts and setting the PA to capture the intimacy of low-voiced irony as clearly as the release of a big payoff. In the hall, you can sense how Amandine’s perspective turns the everyday inside out; what begins as anecdote grows into a mirror held just close enough to startle you into recognizing your own reflection.

Renversée – Tournée in Lyon: our stage, your evening

At PALAIS DE LA MUTUALITE - EDOUARD HERRIOT, we care about the continuity of an artist’s journey as much as the singularity of a night on tour, and Amandine Lourdel arrives with an artistic momentum that our audiences will feel. Renversée speaks to the present tense—about the pace we live at, the roles we are assigned, the tenderness we hide—and it does so with a clarity that travels well across cities and ages. From the first rehearsal on our stage, it was clear the material is structured to let spontaneous moments bloom; we have tuned our room accordingly so that every aside, every raised eyebrow, every breath the audience takes in response, reads. Our hospitality team has prepared a welcome that extends beyond the auditorium: discreet guidance from entrance to seat, thoughtful bar service before and after the show, and a schedule that respects your time. Lyon is a city that listens, and Renversée rewards that attention; it’s a production that trusts intelligence and celebrates the shared thrill of recognition. We are proud to host this Tournée date, to offer a setting worthy of the work, and to watch a community form—just for an evening—around a voice that knows exactly how to reach it.
