From our vantage point as a neighborhood stage dedicated to live performance, we’ve seen how audiences light up when a show marries imagination with nimble stagecraft; this production is precisely that kind of treat. Expect a compact, energetic cast who shift between characters and comic situations with quicksilver timing, inviting spectators of all ages to follow Cubi Poter through a wobbly corridor of enchantments, misfired potions, and barnyard-fueled surprises.

Current artistic momentum meets handcrafted stage magic

Within our program, Cubi Poter et le sortilège du poulailler stands out for the craft behind its playfulness. This is a show that wears its making on its sleeve—props that transform with a twist, a set that unfolds into unexpected places, and soundscapes built from clever live cues and rhythmic devices—so that the audience sees not only the story, but the artistry of staging itself. That transparency has become a signature of the company’s creative momentum this season: the performers lean into precise timing, choreographed chaos, and an affection for theatrical trickery that makes the simplest object feel enchanted. For us as a venue, this is a gift. Our stage is designed for nimble storytelling, and here the ensemble uses that intimacy to forge rapport—playfully breaking the fourth wall, inviting gentle participation, and keeping a pace that alternates between whirlwind farce and moments of tender wonder. Families tell us they value this balance: the humor lands for younger viewers through physicality and surprise, while the script carries little glimmers for adults—satirical touches, slanted metaphors, and sly nods to classic fantasy tropes—without ever leaving the children behind. In short, the troupe arrives at Acte 2 Théâtre with a piece that feels freshly sharpened for live performance, built to thrive on closeness, and ready to ignite our room with applause and giggles in equal measure.

Presenting Cubi Poter et le sortilège du poulailler also aligns with the broader artistic pulse we cultivate at Acte 2 Théâtre: shows that are generous with their audience, imaginative in their design, and anchored in the timeless joy of actors on a stage spinning worlds from almost nothing. Here, the dramaturgy prizes clarity and momentum; scenes snap from classroom calamity to coop-born capers, and the through-line remains airy and inviting, so even first-time theatre-goers feel right at home. Technical details serve the story without overshadowing it—light shifts create pockets of intrigue, small musical flourishes chase jokes into the rafters, and the set’s modular pieces conjure everything from a school corridor to a mischievous henhouse with a swift turn. We’ve arranged our space to make arrival smooth and the experience convivial: come a little early to settle in, discover our intimate auditorium, and let the pre-show hum draw you toward the curtain rise. If you’re planning a family outing, this title is a dependable choice for mixed ages, capturing children with bright antics and rewarding adults with a steady current of wit. For school groups, clubs, or simply friends seeking an hour of buoyant escapism, the performance offers a warm welcome into live theatre’s shared heartbeat. As the season unfolds in Lyon, we’re proud to center our stage on this cheerful, handcrafted spectacle—one that reminds us why a neighborhood theatre matters: it’s where stories like this flutter to life, one gasp, giggle, and collective hush at a time.
