Augustin l'apprenti magicien at THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON

At THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON, we are delighted to welcome Augustin l'apprenti magicien to our stage, a family-oriented experience that captures the thrill of discovery and the joy of illusion. From our vantage point as a venue devoted to live, shared moments, this production channels the warmth and spontaneity that young audiences crave, while remaining engaging and surprising for adults. The charm of an apprentice discovering the craft becomes the narrative engine: Augustin explores the rules of the game, bends them, and gleefully lets the room in on the marvel of not knowing what comes next. Our stage team has tailored the lighting, music cues, and sightlines to emphasize clarity and gentle suspense, so every child can follow the action and every parent can appreciate the craftsmanship. Expect interactive invitations that make the audience co-authors of the show, visual magic that plays beautifully even from the back rows, and a friendly spirit that prioritizes imagination over grandstanding. It is the kind of performance that turns curiosity into the star of the evening, and our theatre into a workshop of wonder.

From an artistic standpoint, Augustin continues to strengthen a repertoire designed for families and school-age spectators, balancing nimble sleight-of-hand with theatrical storytelling. His current momentum focuses on routines that fold humor, rhythm, and gentle misdirection into scenes of apprenticeship—those small victories and setbacks that children instantly recognize. The result is a theatrical language that invites guesses without ever exposing methods, celebrating the thrill of trying, failing, and trying again. As a venue, we value how this approach opens a dialogue between stage and audience: children whisper theories, adults share knowing smiles, and the room becomes a chorus of curiosity. While the heart of the evening is pure illusion, the show also honors the craft behind it—practice, patience, and play—which gives families talking points long after the final applause. Augustin’s timing and rapport carry the piece; he meets spectators at their level, guides them toward the punchline, and lets the magic bloom right where attention is strongest. It is a contemporary take on classic conjuring, built to travel lightly yet leave a generous imprint on memory.
