Antonia De Rendinger - Scènes De Corps Et D'esprit (tournée)

Antonia de Rendinger at THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON

As THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON, we are delighted to welcome Antonia de Rendinger for an exceptional evening anchored by Scènes de corps et d'esprit, presented as part of the Tournée. Our stage was built for artists who blend precision and proximity with the audience, and Antonia’s signature mix of character work, razor-sharp observation, and physical eloquence thrives in this kind of setting. A familiar face to many through On n'demande qu'à en rire, she has parlayed that national visibility into a singular trajectory on stage, crafting a repertoire where empathy fuels satire and wit opens the door to emotion. In recent months, her calendar has been flourishing with theatre dates across the country, and a renewed wave of interest in her one-woman performances attests to how current her humor feels—alive to the zeitgeist and attentive to the audience in the room. Hosting her at THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON means giving our public a close-up encounter with a comedian who makes every gesture count and every silence speak, and we are curating the evening to let that alchemy unfold with maximal clarity and comfort.

About Scènes de corps et d'esprit

Scènes de corps et d'esprit is more than a title; it is a roadmap to Antonia’s art. In this show, the body sets the rhythm while the mind chases nuance, and the result is a cascade of portraits that feel both larger-than-life and intimately true. She moves from one character to another with an athletic grace—the kind that makes you see the idea before the punchline lands—and each vignette sketches our everyday contradictions with affection and bite. The writing is agile, the transitions cinematic, and the staging leaves space for her vocal dexterity and impeccable timing. Longtime followers will recognize the maturity that has carried her from earlier successes such as Moi Jeu! to the present Tournée: the range is wider, the emotional register deeper, and the laughter more resonant for it. While Antonia remains faithful to the discipline that first convinced audiences on On n'demande qu'à en rire—clean premises, intelligent twists, and crystalline diction—Scènes de corps et d'esprit adds a layer of reflective warmth. She plays with topical threads without turning the evening into commentary; instead, she weaves them into human stories that breathe, spar, and, above all, connect.

For us at THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON, presenting Scènes de corps et d'esprit is also an invitation to experience comedy as live craft. Our room’s intimacy favors the subtle calibrations of Antonia’s performance: the flicker of a glance that redraws a scene, the barely-there change of posture that announces a new persona, the musicality of a line that rides the audience’s breath. We have tuned light and sound to underline that delicacy, ensuring that every seat captures both the detail and the sweep of the show. With the Tournée adding new dates in response to audience demand, this stop in Lyon comes at a vibrant moment in Antonia’s artistic news, when her schedule intersects with a fresh wave of public curiosity and word-of-mouth enthusiasm. We encourage spectators to arrive early, settle in, and let themselves be carried by the choreography of voice and body that gives Scènes de corps et d'esprit its pulse. It is a pleasure and a point of pride to host Antonia de Rendinger here, in a space designed to honor the proximity and generosity that define her comedy.
