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

Le Boui-Boui welcomes Camille Lienard for C'est pas la nuit qu'elle dort

At Le Boui-Boui, we love when a voice arrives that feels both intimate and irresistible from the very first beat. That’s exactly what happens with Camille Lienard and her live creation C'est pas la nuit qu'elle dort. From our stage, this work unfolds with the kind of closeness only our room can offer: a direct line between performer and audience where every glance, breath, and punchline lands with unfiltered authenticity. C'est pas la nuit qu'elle dort explores those liminal hours when the world quiets and the mind grows loud, and Camille turns that twilight zone into a playground of wit, observation, and vulnerability. The material is brisk and incisive, but also tender, guided by a performer who moves effortlessly between razor-sharp lines, disarming self-mockery, and precise moments of silence that say as much as any joke. The result, in our space, resembles a deeply human conversation that escalates into a communal release—laughter that recognizes itself.

Inside the show at Le Boui-Boui: rhythm, presence, and a rare sense of timing

We curate artists who thrive on proximity, and Camille Lienard is exactly that kind of presence. On our stage, C'est pas la nuit qu'elle dort draws its power from a stripped-down approach that leaves room for physicality, storytelling, and an instinctive rapport with the crowd. The show’s pacing is a dance: short, quick-fire sequences ricochet off longer narratives that expand into vivid scenes, as if the room itself becomes the setting for sleepless adventures—cafés that never close, screens that glow too brightly, and thoughts that insist on staying up late. Camille’s craft is in the contrasts: the stillness before a reveal, the sly aside thrown over the shoulder, the precise way she digs into a premise and then twists it toward an unexpected truth. At Le Boui-Boui, the piece benefits from our acoustics and sightlines, making each modulation of voice and gesture feel immediate. Audiences tell us they enjoy how Camille’s presence invites them in: she listens as actively as she speaks, allowing playful improvisations to weave through the material without ever losing the thread of the narrative. It’s a living hour that breathes with the room.

As a venue attentive to artistic momentum, we’re proud to present C'est pas la nuit qu'elle dort right now, when Camille Lienard’s work is gaining visibility and curious audiences are leaning in. This season, her stage craft is marked by a confident refinement—tighter transitions, bolder shifts in tone, and a knack for transforming personal fragments into moments that feel instantly shared. If you’ve discovered her through recent clips circulating online or word of mouth from rooms like ours, this is the chance to see the full arc come to life, with added textures only live performance can hold. We’ve programmed the show at Le Boui-Boui because our intimate scale magnifies its strengths: the empathy in her observations, the gleeful surprise in her detours, and the way she turns a late-night thought into a story that follows you home. Whether you arrive as a longtime supporter or out of spontaneous curiosity, the experience here is designed to feel close, vivid, and unrepeatable—exactly what a night at Le Boui-Boui should be when an artist like Camille Lienard is at the center of the room.
