Ben Mazué - Tournée Des Théâtres 2025

Ben Mazué at Radiant-Bellevue: an intimate theater encounter

At Radiant-Bellevue, we are preparing our stage and acoustic canopy for an evening that places storytelling at the heart of live performance. The arrival of Ben Mazué with the tournée des théâtres 2025 is precisely the kind of encounter our venue was designed for: a singer-songwriter standing close to the audience, shaping a narrative arc where spoken word, song, and silences carry equal weight. Our theater’s warm wood, refined sound diffusion, and generous sightlines will frame a set that favors nuance over spectacle—subtle lighting cues, the attentive hush of the room, and a layout that invites confidences as much as choruses. We have curated a minimalist stage environment to amplify the clarity of his voice and the intimate texture of piano, guitar, and strings, ensuring that every inflection, aside, and breath finds its way to the last seat without losing its natural grain. From the first chord to the final encore, Radiant-Bellevue will be the vessel for a performance built on presence, precision, and the shared ritual of theater.

The artist’s current momentum and what you’ll hear in Lyon

In recent seasons, Ben Mazué has continued to grow as one of France’s most eloquent observers of everyday emotion, bridging song and spoken confession with disarming sincerity. Following the enduring success of Paradis, he broadened his palette with the collaborative project Éphémère(s) alongside Grand Corps Malade and Gaël Faye, a meeting of voices that highlighted his gift for phrasing and the grain of lived experience. When he steps onto the Radiant-Bellevue stage, expect a living, breathing setlist that renews familiar pieces while welcoming newer material; audience favorites such as Paradis and Quand je marche gain fresh intimacy in a theater setting, and recent titles from the Éphémère(s) chapter—like Retiens les rêves or Tailler la route—arrive with a chamber-like clarity. Our room has been tuned to honor dynamic contrasts, so the whispered edges of a verse and the lift of a chorus can coexist without compromise. The arrangements for this tour privilege space: brushed percussion, a centered piano, and guitars that carry warmth without crowding the voice, allowing the artist’s finely etched storytelling to unfold in full focus.

Radiant-Bellevue will host this concert with the discretion and care that befit a theater tour. From a front-of-house welcome designed to ease you into the evening’s cadence to a stage plot that favors clean lines, we aim to create the conditions for connection: the sense that each song lands as a conversation, each transition a page turn. Our technical team has crafted a lighting design that follows the contours of Ben Mazué’s dramaturgy—soft pools for intimate monologues, wider washes for songs that bloom into collective resonance—while our sound engineers privilege proximity, ensuring that even in full ensemble passages the voice remains present and articulate. The tournée des théâtres 2025 is about bringing songs back to the places where stories are meant to be told; here, near Lyon, Radiant-Bellevue becomes both a listening room and a shared diary, a space where melodies like Paradis or Quand je marche can breathe, and newer refrains from Éphémère(s) reveal their inner light. We look forward to welcoming you into this atmosphere of focused attention and gentle intensity, the very essence of a concert made for a theater.
