Au Secours ! Ma Femme Veut Jouir !

At SALLE PAUL GARCIN: hosting a bold, timely comedy of intimacy

At SALLE PAUL GARCIN, we are delighted to welcome the audacious and irresistibly candid theatrical comedy Au secours ma femme veut jouir. Our stage is designed for encounters that feel close and immediate, and this production makes the most of that intimacy. From the first beat, the show speaks frankly—and hilariously—about desire, misunderstandings, and the everyday negotiations of a couple determined to reconnect. The room’s warm acoustics and tight sightlines let every whisper, aside, and punchline land precisely where it should, drawing the audience into confessions that feel both private and universal. You can expect a rhythm that swings from sharp observational humor to touching moments of vulnerability, amplified by lighting cues that sculpt the body language and micro-expressions at the heart of the piece. We have tailored the technical setup at SALLE PAUL GARCIN to keep the focus on the performer’s storytelling and the show’s cheeky stagecraft, allowing the narrative to breathe, invite laughter, and challenge preconceptions—all while remaining playful, generous, and irresistibly theatrical.

Artistic momentum: a creator in full control of voice and audience

From our vantage point at SALLE PAUL GARCIN, what makes Au secours ma femme veut jouir so invigorating is the artist’s current creative momentum. This latest version arrives sharpened by months of rewriting and testing, with scenes that glide from comic set-pieces to improvised exchanges that respond to the room. The creator’s recent work has leaned into a more dramaturgical approach: character-driven beats, recurring motifs about communication, and an artful use of silence that lets the laughter echo and the meaning deepen. You’ll recognize the confidence of an artist who knows how to surf the energy of a crowd—slowing down to savor a glance, then accelerating into a cascade of punchlines about double standards, the myths of performance, and the small negotiations that turn into big stories behind closed doors. For this Lyon date, we’ve refined the pacing and sound so each turn in tone—teasing, conspiratorial, provocative—feels precise and earned. The result is an evening that’s not just funny, but also a lively snapshot of contemporary relationships through the eyes of a performer in peak form.

Presenting this show at SALLE PAUL GARCIN also means shaping a distinctive audience experience, from the first steps into the foyer to the last laugh reverberating off the back wall. We’ve curated an atmosphere that primes conversation: soft pre-show soundscapes, comfortable seating that keeps you close to the action, and a stage layout that lets the performer dance between confession and complicity. Au secours ma femme veut jouir thrives on participation—not in the sense of stunts, but through the shared recognition that fills the room when a line rings true. In Lyon, where spectators are famously attentive and discerning, we expect the play’s blend of sensual comedy and heartfelt candor to spark generous applause and spirited post-show debates. Our team has planned for a brisk cadence, minimal scene changes, and the kind of technical discretion that amplifies spontaneity. Whether you come for the laughter, the honesty, or the thrill of seeing boundaries nudged with wit and warmth, SALLE PAUL GARCIN is proud to offer a stage where this story glows—brave, mischievous, and made to be experienced together.
