Dessine Moi Une Impro !

Dessine-moi une impro at Le Complexe - Salle du Bas

At Le Complexe - Salle du Bas, we are thrilled to welcome Dessine-moi une impro into our intimate, laughter-ready space, a room designed for the quicksilver magic of live creation. From the moment house lights dim and the first pen strokes appear, our stage becomes a playful laboratory where sketches born in the crowd instantly turn into characters, worlds, and stories. We have tuned the lighting and sound to carry every whisper of an idea and every snap decision, so the audience can follow each transformation from drawing to dialogue. With close sightlines and a warm acoustic, Salle du Bas invites you to lean in and be part of the spark, whether you are offering a doodle, a theme, or simply your energy. This is our favorite kind of evening: a collective improvisation where our team—technicians, ushers, and bar staff—collaborates with the ensemble and the audience to make the room breathe in sync with the show.

Artistic momentum, new formats, and the joy of risk

As a venue dedicated to live comedy and inventive formats, we have watched the ensemble behind Dessine-moi une impro refine a vibrant language that fuses visual prompts with razor-sharp timing. Their recent sets have expanded in scope and playfulness, often weaving a live illustrator and a musician into the action to heighten the immediacy of each scene. Expect to recognize audience-favorite modules the troupe has been shaping these past months—“Storyboard Express,” where a quick four-panel strip dictates the beats of a narrative; “Cadavre Exquis Minute,” a relay of drawings and scenes that moves faster than your expectations; and “Encre Invisible,” a brilliant piece in which hidden lines are revealed by the light to unlock secret objectives mid-scene. The company has also been tinkering with “Plan à 4 Cases,” an architectural game of constraints that challenges actors to revisit the same moment through four visual styles. We love hosting this restless curiosity at Le Complexe - Salle du Bas, where the room’s proximity intensifies the stakes and every gasp, giggle, and applause cue feeds directly back into the performers’ choices.

On the night of Dessine-moi une impro at Le Complexe - Salle du Bas, you will step into a room arranged for participation without pressure: paper and markers at the ready, projection set, and a stage crew poised to catch lightning. The rhythm usually pulses through brisk rounds—your sketches are collected, projected, and seized upon to create mini-worlds that last a few minutes, then vanish to make space for the next surprise. The cast’s agility turns stray details—a crooked chimney, a mischievous eye, a misplaced comma—into running gags, tender monologues, or daring physical games. Our team ensures the transitions are seamless, music swells precisely when needed, and the projection remains crisp so even the balcony can see every inked twist. Whether you come as a group or solo, prepare to be part of the creative engine: the room fuels the show, and the show returns that energy tenfold. It’s the sort of evening that reminds us why Salle du Bas exists—to host living, breathing stories that could only happen here, once, together.
