Clash at Le Complexe - Salle du Bas

At Le Complexe - Salle du Bas, we are thrilled to welcome Clash, a stage experience designed for the immediacy and intimacy of our downstairs room in the heart of Lyon. From the moment the lights dim, the show builds on the direct connection between performers and audience that our room naturally encourages: the low stage height, close seating, and crisp acoustics make every gesture and every punchline land with exhilarating clarity. Clash thrives on momentum—an energized sequence of moments that alternates velocity and silence, punch and counterpunch—so the performers’ craft meets our technical team’s precision in sound, light, and pacing. Expect a night where the audience feels less like observers and more like co-conspirators, thanks to a format that prizes spontaneity, quick wit, and a playful sense of risk. In our downstairs space, the distance between idea and impact is razor-thin, and Clash uses that proximity to magnify humor, tension, and release in real time. Whether you come for the thrill of live creativity or the joy of collective laughter, the Salle du Bas amplifies the show’s edge while keeping the encounter warm, human, and unmistakably live.

Artistic momentum and onstage energy

Clash arrives with the kind of artistic momentum that our audience loves to witness up close: performers working at speed, ideas colliding, and styles fusing into an evening that evolves with every audience reaction. The heart of the show is a deft command of rhythm—tight, kinetic sequences set against watchful pauses—so that reversals land smartly and running gags deepen across the night. Our role at Le Complexe - Salle du Bas is to give that rhythm the ideal frame: transitions that stay fluid, lighting that shapes the mood without breaking the flow, and a stage picture that keeps focus where it matters. What we particularly admire in this edition of Clash is the ensemble’s responsiveness—an instinct for picking up a thread from a single glance or a stray laugh and spinning it into a fully formed callback. The show’s structure is flexible without ever feeling loose, creating a sense of escalating stakes that invites the room to lean forward together. If you thrive on shows that turn the spark of the moment into a roaring fire, you will find in Clash a precision-built night of live performance that is both polished and gloriously unpredictable. In the intimacy of our downstairs room, the show’s dynamics become palpable—beats accelerate, twists sharpen, and you can feel the performers reading the room, adapting, and triumphing in the space of a breath.
