Anthony Bechtatou - Faites Du Bruit

Anthony Bechtatou brings Faites du bruit to Le Boui-Boui

At Le Boui-Boui, we champion artists who turn closeness into electricity, and that is exactly what Anthony Bechtatou is poised to deliver with Faites du bruit. Our intimate room in Lyon has long been a laboratory for sharp new voices, and Anthony arrives with a set that thrives on immediacy, razor-edged observance, and a rhythmic sense of timing that feels perfectly cut for a space where every breath and beat can be heard. Audiences have been buzzing about his high-tempo presence and the way he channels everyday chaos—social feeds, city soundscapes, family codes—into precise comedic detonations. His current momentum is palpable: new material flows with each performance, and the show’s living, work-in-progress energy means you’re watching a comic refining a signature hour in real time. From our vantage point—listening to the room night after night—we’re struck by how deftly he keeps the pace airborne without losing the human detail that makes his stories stick. Faites du bruit is not only a title; it’s an artistic stance, a promise of volume and nuance, delivered up-close at Le Boui-Boui.

Inside the room: pace, precision, and participatory laughter

What distinguishes Anthony Bechtatou on our stage is his control of acceleration and silence alike. Le Boui-Boui magnifies craft: you hear the micro-pauses, the crowd’s tiny inhalations, the rolling waves of laughter that rebound off the brick and wood. Anthony leans into that responsiveness, stacking punchlines and callbacks with a drummer’s sense of timing. Recent nights have seen him workshop recurring bits he’s nicknamed—titles may evolve—Silence, on scrolle, Mode Avion, Le voisin du dessus, Micro coupé, and Service Après-Vente de la Vie. Each segment sits on a clean premise, then zigzags through misdirection and lived-in detail: the scroll-induced attention deficit, the false calm of airplane mode, the upstairs neighbor’s mysterious timetable, the modern fear of being muted in the only moment that matters, the bureaucratic afterlife of everyday problems. In our room, these pieces land with a mix of recognition and surprise: Anthony sets up a familiar sound—notification pings, hallway echoes, ring tones—then subverts it with angles that feel both precise and playfully unhinged. He’s quick with crowd energy, too, inviting the front rows into the tempo without ever losing the arc of the hour.

From a production standpoint, we’ve tuned the show for clarity and punch: crisp microphone dynamics, lean lighting changes that track the emotional beats, and a staging that keeps Anthony within arm’s reach of every section. The result is a performance whose intensity translates equally well from first row to back wall. For those following his current artistic trajectory, Faites du bruit captures a moment when new writing is being forged under the heat of immediate feedback; you may catch a tag or a topper that didn’t exist last week. That living edge is why Le Boui-Boui is the right place to meet him now: our compact space amplifies authenticity, letting the smallest face twitch or eyebrow raise turn into a shared joke. Whether you’re discovering Anthony Bechtatou for the first time or tracking his evolution show-to-show, expect a night that balances momentum with micro-observation, riffing with structure, and high-volume laughter with the kind of detailed craft that rewards attention. Seats are limited by design; lean in, settle close, and let Faites du bruit do exactly what it promises at Le Boui-Boui.
