Comment Draguer Après 50 Ans - Tournée

At THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON: a front-row seat to Comment draguer après 50 ans

From our stage at THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON, we are delighted to host the witty, warm, and wonderfully self-aware Comment draguer après 50 ans, a performance that turns the everyday anxieties of later-life dating into a shared celebration of laughter. In our intimate room, the rhythm of the jokes lands with a precision you can feel—quick-fire punchlines alternating with tender, confessional storytelling that gives everyone time to breathe, relate, and laugh again. Whether you’re well past fifty or simply curious about what etiquette survives in the age of swipes and emojis, the show’s point of view is inclusive and generous. It explores dating apps, blind dates organized by friends, and the unexpected social arenas of pharmacies, dance classes, and family gatherings, peppering the narrative with smartphone culture—voice notes gone wrong, the perils of autocorrect, and profile photos that predate the smartphone itself. Our perspective from the wings confirms what you’ll feel in the room: the material is calibrated to invite complicity, tease without cruelty, and champion the humor that emerges when experience meets desire.

Current creative momentum, seen from the wings

Welcoming this production, we witness an artist in creative motion, refining a living piece that grows with every crowd. Comment draguer après 50 ans has the energy of a seasoned performer who knows how to knit a room together, shifting from observational stand-up to small theatrical vignettes, then back to mischievous crowd work at just the right moment. The writing leans on vivid, everyday details—glasses misplaced mid-date, playlists that betray our real age, “I saw your message but I fell asleep” dilemmas—so the humor remains precise without ever feeling mean. In the current artistic moment, audiences have a taste for nimble formats that echo what they watch and share, and this show nods knowingly at the fast, playful spirit popularized by programs like LOL: Qui rit, sort!, the social experiment lens of Mariés au premier regard, and the tender realism of L’amour est dans le pré—without imitating them. From our vantage point, we see how that contemporary tempo is translated for the stage: snappy transitions, call-and-response beats, and a pacing that lets a single glance, a pause, or a raised eyebrow deliver as much as a punchline. The result is a performance that feels fresh, responsive, and tuned to the audience in front of it.

On our stage, the evening unfolds as a practical “field guide” that finds comedy in competence as much as in chaos. The show nudges us to ask what actually changes after fifty: are the rules different, or just the stakes? Scenes revolve around first messages that should never have been sent, the art of choosing a meetup spot that flatters both conversation and lighting, and the delicate etiquette of acknowledging history—exes, past loves, the life already lived—without letting it crowd the table for two. There is gentle audience interaction, the kind that leaves people feeling included rather than singled out, and a sense that every performance is co-authored with the room. As a venue, we cherish how naturally this piece inhabits THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON: the acoustics favor quick exchanges, the sightlines keep the micro-expressions visible, and the closeness between rows turns laughter into a chorus. If you love clever writing, playful improvisation, and the particular joy that comes from seeing a topic we all tiptoe around handled with elegance and nerve, Comment draguer après 50 ans belongs on your calendar here at our house.
