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

At Acte 2 Théâtre in Lyon: a mischievous storm of magic and feathers

At Acte 2 Théâtre, we are delighted to welcome Cubi Poter et le Sortilège du Poulailler, a gleefully imaginative parody that turns the rituals of wizardly legends upside down and sprinkles them with barnyard bravado. Our intimate stage heightens every wink, aside, and gust of slapstick, so that the sparkle of the spells and the rustle of the “poulailler” come alive only a few steps from your seat. The show thrives on quick-fire wordplay, elastic physical comedy, and an unfailing sense of mischief that delights children and rewards grown-ups with sly references. Audiences will discover a comic universe where low-tech magic tricks become high-voltage theatre, where props are part of the punchline, and where the cast’s timing is as precise as a wand flick. It is a buoyant family outing, a savvy send-up for fans of fantastic epics, and, most of all, a celebration of what live performance can do when imagination leads the dance—right here in Lyon, in the warm glow of Acte 2 Théâtre.

The creative momentum behind a refreshed stage adventure

Hosting this production gives us the privilege of seeing, up close, how the ensemble continues to evolve its stagecraft. For its engagement at Acte 2 Théâtre, the team has sharpened the show’s comic rhythms and expanded playful audience exchanges that feel different at every performance. By leaning into hand-made illusions, dexterous puppetry, and rhythmic sound gags, the cast cultivates a theatre language that is both contemporary and charmingly artisanal. The result is a sparkling blend of parody and precision: a choreographed chaos in which a misplaced ingredient, a feather in the wrong hat, or a mispronounced formula becomes the fuse for a cascade of laughter. Our technical crew has worked hand in hand with the company to shape light, shadow, and sound so that each gag lands crisply in our space, making the most of the theatre’s proximity and sightlines. The creative team’s current focus is to keep the show agile—its set pieces are nimble, its cues are responsive to the room, and the performers’ rapport with the audience is treated as a living instrument. This ongoing refinement is exactly the kind of artistic vitality we love to host: a production that returns to the stage with fresh impulses while staying true to its riotous spirit.

For spectators, the Acte 2 Théâtre experience means letting yourself be pulled into a compact whirlwind of imagination where every seat feels plugged into the action. The narrative is a gleeful quest—comic trials, unlikely mentors, and a “spell” whose consequences are as unpredictable as they are feather-filled—told with a speed and clarity tailored to mixed-age audiences. Children laugh at the pratfalls and cheeky props; older viewers savor the linguistic games, theatrical in-jokes, and deft pastiches of heroic tropes. Because our stage is so close to you, the smallest detail—an eyebrow, a whisper, a conspiratorial grin—becomes part of the storytelling, making the performance feel personal and immediate. We invite families, school groups, and curious theatre-goers to discover how this show turns parody into a fine art: extravagant yet precise, whimsical yet expertly engineered. Whether you come for the giggles, the cleverness, or the sheer joy of live performance, Cubi Poter et le Sortilège du Poulailler at Acte 2 Théâtre delivers a buoyant, brilliantly timed encounter with a troupe that knows how to keep a house laughing, gasping, and leaning forward for just one more trick.
