Camille Lienard - C'est Pas La Nuit Qu'elle Dort

Le Boui-Boui presents Camille Lienard

At Le Boui-Boui, we are delighted to open our intimate stage to Camille Lienard for her new show, C’est pas la nuit qu’elle dort. Our venue thrives on proximity—between performer and audience, between a story and the laughter it unlocks—and Camille embodies that spirit with precision and warmth. From the moment she steps under our lights, her rhythm is unmistakable: a quicksilver blend of sharp observation, physical finesse, and a storytelling instinct that keeps the room leaning forward. The title hints at nocturnal energy, and the performance follows suit, darting through the anxieties and freedoms of late hours with a sensitivity that is playful rather than solemn. Expect a conversational tone that disarms and invites, rapid shifts between tenderness and mischief, and moments when silence becomes part of the punchline. In a space like ours, where every breath and glance counts, Camille’s ability to read the room and spin a shared mood feels especially alive.

About C’est pas la nuit qu’elle dort

C’est pas la nuit qu’elle dort is a portrait of wakefulness—of being alert to the world’s tiny absurdities and to one’s own contradictions. Presented at Le Boui-Boui, the show draws on the textures of real life: the hum of the city when the streets thin out, the flicker of phone screens at 3 a.m., the private negotiations we make with work, friendship, and desire when routine falls away. Camille’s writing is economical but generous; she layers callbacks, visual gags, and nimble asides to create an hour that feels cohesive without ever feeling predictable. Because our room rewards nuance, you’ll notice how she uses silence as carefully as she uses laughter, letting a beat hang just long enough to change the meaning of a line. The result is a set that feels handcrafted for a venue like ours—close, attentive, and brimming with spontaneous moments that can only happen when the audience is within arm’s reach.

As a venue, we’re witnessing Camille in a moment of clear momentum. The material in C’est pas la nuit qu’elle dort feels newly minted and enthusiastically lived-in, as if refined in late-night sessions and sharpened through the give-and-take of real crowds. That living quality shows in her improvisations: she’s quick to weave audience reactions into the narrative, and quicker still to pivot back into the show’s architecture without losing pace. For guests at Le Boui-Boui, that means you’re not only seeing a polished hour—you’re participating in the electricity that shapes it. Come expecting candid reflections on sleepless minds and restless cities, misadventures with timing and technology, and the sometimes-comic math of balancing ambition with care for oneself and others. Our team has tuned the room to let whispers travel and punchlines land, and we’ve set the stage to keep the performance crisp, warm, and immediate. If you’re drawn to contemporary voices that mix precision with heart, Camille Lienard’s C’est pas la nuit qu’elle dort will feel like a conversation you’ve been wanting to have—and the perfect fit for Le Boui-Boui’s close-up style.
