Cubi Poter Et Le Sortilège Du Poulailler - Acte 2 Théâtre, Lyon

A mischievous theatrical event at Acte 2 Théâtre

At Acte 2 Théâtre, we are delighted to welcome the playful storm that is Cubi Poter et le Sortilège du Poulailler, a gleefully irreverent stage adventure that marries nimble wordplay with barnyard sorcery. Our intimate house is built for this kind of mischievous theatre: the performers are close enough to share a wink with the front row while our technical team sharpens every beat—lights that pivot with the gags, sound cues that amplify surprises, and scene changes that happen in the blink of an eye. Expect a zippy blend of parody, physical comedy, and musical flourishes, with a dash of audience interaction that makes each performance feel uniquely alive. Without spoiling the set pieces, anticipate a classroom that seems to hatch into a coop, a duel that flaps into farce, and a heroic journey that never forgets to be hilarious. Families, curious theatre-goers, and devotees of clever satire will all find a home here, and the closeness of our stage ensures every expression, prop trick, and punchline lands with satisfying precision.

Artistic momentum and a refreshed creation

The ensemble behind Cubi Poter et le Sortilège du Poulailler arrives at Acte 2 Théâtre with momentum and visible craft. This is a troupe that treats comedy as choreography: timing is tightened to a hair’s breadth, musical interludes are re-polished, and text is tuned so each word carries maximum bounce. In rehearsals with our team, the artists have honed transitions to flow with cinematic ease—moments that glide from wizardly lecture to poultry pandemonium, all while sustaining a buoyant rhythm that keeps audiences leaning forward. We value productions that use theatricality as a playground, and this company revels in it: low-tech magic made dazzling by precision, character work that swivels on a dime, and a collective knack for turning a simple prop into a running joke. Their current artistic energy is palpable onstage—new comic riffs bloom organically from the audience’s reactions, heightened by our space’s acoustic clarity and sightlines. The result is a living production that remains faithful to its central parody while inviting improvisation, a mark of performers who trust their material and their spectators in equal measure.

For audiences joining us at Acte 2 Théâtre, here is what the experience feels like from your seat: a tale that winks at timeless coming-of-age myths and lets them romp through a henhouse; a cavalcade of characters who leap between earnestness and absurdity; and a parade of visual jokes that build into curtained crescendos. The show trades as much in athletic movement as in language, making it a vibrant watch for both seasoned theatregoers and those discovering our stage for the first time. Our house’s scale draws the comedy closer—sly eye contact, conspiratorial asides, and the kind of quick costume changes you can only truly appreciate from a few meters away. We’ve tuned every element so families and groups can settle in with ease: welcoming foyer, smooth entry, and a stage picture that reads clearly from every bank of seats. Whether you come for a matinee sparkle or an evening of giggles, Cubi Poter et le Sortilège du Poulailler brings buoyant parody, generous ensemble play, and an infectious sense of fun perfectly at home in the convivial spirit of Acte 2 Théâtre.
