Elies Zoghlami - Altremie (tournée)

Radiant-Bellevue welcomes Elies Zoghlami with Altremie

At Radiant-Bellevue, we are delighted to open our stage to Elies Zoghlami for Altremie, a night that celebrates the velocity, charm, and razor-edge timing that have made his live appearances a word-of-mouth sensation. From our vantage point as a venue that thrives on the electricity of the room, we know how quickly a great storyteller can turn a theatre into a collective heartbeat. Elies Zoghlami’s comedy meets that moment: quick on his feet, generous with the crowd, and anchored in an eye for detail that transforms everyday situations into irresistible crescendos. Our auditorium’s intimate sightlines and warm acoustics lend themselves to the quick pivots and pin-drop beats his style requires, letting every glance and pause land with purpose. For this date at Radiant-Bellevue, audiences can expect a fully live, in-the-room experience where improvised sparks fly, themes interlace across the set, and the rhythm of Altremie builds into the kind of shared laughter that lingers long after the lights rise.

What audiences can expect at Radiant-Bellevue

Altremie unfolds with an agile blend of autobiographical snapshots and playful social observation, shaped into sequences that breathe with the natural cadence of conversation. From the first minutes, Elies Zoghlami plays the room—reading the front rows, riffing on local cues, and folding spontaneous banter into polished routines—so that no two nights feel the same. In our space at Radiant-Bellevue, that intimacy is amplified: you hear the quick intake of breath before a punchline; you catch the micro-expressions that dial a joke from mischievous to gleeful. Expect a pace that alternates between high-energy bursts and slow-burn narratives, with recurring motifs that circle back in surprising payoffs. Without giving away twists, the show’s architecture favors callbacks and layered tags, making the second half even funnier than the first. The set design is deliberately pared back to keep focus on performance, while lighting shifts guide the tonal arcs, from the confessional to the exuberant. It’s the kind of live craft that Radiant-Bellevue loves to champion: precise, human, and gloriously unruly when the moment calls.

Beyond this date, Elies Zoghlami’s artistic momentum is unmistakable, and Radiant-Bellevue is proud to host him at a moment when his voice is sharpening and his audience is growing. In recent months he has leaned into longer-form storytelling and fresh angles on contemporary life, road-testing new ideas that now anchor Altremie. Fans who have followed his latest material will recognize references woven into routines that audiences have affectionately nicknamed Le Rendez-vous médical, La Colocation qui déraille, Le Standard impossible, and Le Premier job du matin—observational set-pieces where a single everyday situation blooms into a torrent of comic detail. The writing shows a taste for misdirection and tonal shifts: a gentle gripe becomes a miniature farce; a quiet memory flips into physical comedy; a throwaway aside returns as a show-spanning refrain. From our side of the stage at Radiant-Bellevue, what excites us most is the live electricity of this period in his work. He is clearly refining material with an eye toward longevity—building segments that can stand alone, yet click together as a cohesive, evolving show. Altremie captures that creative present tense: the thrill of new pages, the discipline of structure, and the joyful risk of letting the room steer the night just enough to make each performance singular in Lyon.
