Arnaud Tsamère - Nouveau Spectacle - Tournée

Arnaud Tsamère brings his Nouveau spectacle to Radiant-Bellevue

At Radiant-Bellevue, we are thrilled to welcome Arnaud Tsamère as part of his Tournée for the eagerly awaited Nouveau spectacle, a homecoming of sorts for one of France’s most inventive masters of absurdist comedy. Our auditorium is designed for proximity and precision—sharp sightlines, warm acoustics, and a stage that favors the intimate, quicksilver rhythms of stand-up and sketch. That matters with an artist like Arnaud, whose comedy lives in the small pauses, sideways glances, and sudden detours that ignite a room. We prepare the venue with the same attention he gives his writing: from the gentle build of a premise to the exhilarating rupture of a punchline, every seat at Radiant-Bellevue is positioned to catch the nuance. Lyon’s audiences love discovery and craft—two qualities Arnaud embodies—and our team is ready to frame his new material in the best technical conditions.

A vibrant artistic moment: between legacy and fresh mischief

Arnaud Tsamère’s creative news is as alive as ever: with Nouveau spectacle, he writes from the present tense—leaner, bolder, and as playfully offbeat as the work that first made him a must-see. Many spectators discovered his skewed logic on On n’demande qu’à en rire, while others followed his comic-hero turns in Hero Corp; in the theater, his earlier milestones Chose promise and Confidences sur pas mal de trucs plus ou moins confidentiels set the tone for a style that marries narrative finesse with derailments of reality. As a venue, we recognize that blend immediately on our stage: the meticulously constructed story that suddenly shatters into improvisation; the character who starts as a throwaway and returns as the emotional backbone of a routine. Nouveau spectacle explores that delicate hinge between innocence and panic, where a single word choice can send the room into laughter or reflection, and Arnaud relishes guiding the audience through those forks in the road.

What can Radiant-Bellevue audiences expect on the night? First, the unmistakable thrill of precision absurdity—the kind that rewards attention with bigger laughs. Arnaud’s timing benefits from our room’s acoustic clarity, letting him whisper a premise, ricochet into a tangent, then land on a callback with surgical neatness. Second, a renewed taste for live exchange: he teases new detours with audience cues, building in-the-moment scenettes that feel custom-made for Lyon. Third, a through-line that nods to his history without repeating it; admirers of Chose promise and Confidences sur pas mal de trucs plus ou moins confidentiels will recognize the elegance of a narrative spine, but the surprises in Nouveau spectacle belong to this Tournée alone. Our role is to give those surprises space to bloom—lights that shape character, sound that follows the riff, and a stage that lets Arnaud turn a throwaway detail into a show-defining moment. At Radiant-Bellevue, we’re ready to host that fragile, exhilarating alchemy when Arnaud Tsamère steps into the light.
