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

At Le Boui-Boui: welcoming Camille Lienard for C'est pas la nuit qu'elle dort

At Le Boui-Boui, we love works that thrive on intimacy, agility, and the live energy that only a close-knit room can offer. That is exactly why we are thrilled to host Camille Lienard with C'est pas la nuit qu'elle dort, a one-woman performance whose pulse seems made for our stage. The show’s premise flirts with sleepless evenings and hyper-alert days, but what really lands with our audiences is the way Camille folds restless thoughts into sharp, warm, and generous comedy. Expect quick pivots from confessional storytelling to razor-edged observation, little scenic surprises that put the crowd in on the joke, and an attentive rapport that makes each night feel hand-tailored. In our black-box setting, every whisper of irony and every burst of laughter reads with high definition; Camille’s timing, gestures, and eye contact hit with a vivid presence that larger venues often wash out. We can already feel how the piece’s nocturnal heartbeat will resonate here—restlessness as a creative engine, humor as a way to reorganize the chaos of everyday life, and the frank joy of being together in the room when a line lands at just the right second.

Artistic momentum, here and now

From our vantage point at Le Boui-Boui, Camille Lienard arrives in a particularly lively moment of her artistic trajectory. What we see, and hear audiences respond to, is her precision: the way she sculpts a situation with economical detail, then detonates it with a turn of phrase or a shift in point of view. In C'est pas la nuit qu'elle dort, she expands that craft into a larger arc—threading bits about work rhythms, domestic micromoments, and the social noise that follows us home, all while keeping the night as a creative compass. Recent outings and short-form clips have sharpened her pace; you feel a performer who’s been testing, listening, and refining, bringing into the room material that is fresh, alert, and current. Rather than leaning on big set pieces, Camille often starts small—an offhand message, a neighbor’s habit, a repeated noise in the hallway—and builds toward a release that feels both inevitable and surprising. The result is an evening that balances the fun of immediate laughs with the pleasure of recognition: the kind of show that sends you back into the street seeing your own routines with a mischievous new angle.

We curate our program at Le Boui-Boui for experiences that live and breathe with the audience, and C'est pas la nuit qu'elle dort fits that ethos. The staging makes agile use of our room: close to the front row, open to spontaneous exchanges, and sensitive to the acoustics that let silences speak as clearly as punchlines. For spectators, that means an experience that evolves from night to night; for us, it is exactly the kind of artisanal theater-comedy we champion. Whether you’re a regular at our venue or discovering us for the first time, you’ll find a show paced for our space—tight where it needs to be, relaxed where it thrives, and punctuated by moments of shared complicity that feel uniquely “Boui-Boui.” We recommend arriving a little early to settle in, meet our team, and soak up the pre-show hum that is always part of the pleasure here. Camille Lienard’s craft meets the scale and spirit of our house, and we are delighted to open the doors for C'est pas la nuit qu'elle dort.
