Félix Le Braz brings Flashback Generation VHS to the intimate stage of Le Boui-Boui

At Le Boui-Boui, we curate nights where proximity amplifies punchlines, and Félix Le Braz fits our room like a tape in a trusty VCR. With Flashback Generation VHS, he steps into our spotlight and invites the audience to rewind with him through the analog era, mining a trove of memories, rituals, and malfunctions that only a living room bathed in cathode-ray glow can summon. From our vantage point as hosts, we’ve seen how his precision timing and playful physicality turn a nostalgic premise into a living, breathing comedy experience—crisp, warm, and wonderfully glitchy at the edges. The show unfolds in cinematic “chapters,” with freshly minted bits such as Mode Tracking: On/Off, Video Club Confessions, and Camcorder Dad vs. The Red Light, all staged with the nimble inventiveness that thrives in our close-up setting. When Félix riffs on jingle earworms, tape tangles, and the ritual of blowing on a cartridge as if it were sacred liturgy, our audience leans in, laughing not just at the jokes but at their own recovered memories swirling back into focus.

Momentum onstage: a comedian evolving in real time

As a venue that champions artists in full creative flight, we’re thrilled to host Félix at a moment when his comedic voice is gaining new texture and daring. He has been refining Flashback Generation VHS with a craftsman’s patience, testing transitions and layering callbacks that reward attentive listeners—exactly the kind of detail that sings in the intimate acoustics of Le Boui-Boui. Recent pieces like Be Kind, Rewind Romance, Jingles vs. Reality, and Sticker on the Lens reveal how deftly he marries personal storytelling with pop-cultural archaeology: family tapes become miniature epics; obsolete remotes spark debates about control; the clack of a plastic case is treated like a drumbeat from a simpler, slower time. We see audiences respond to that tempo—how the show’s rhythm, both nostalgic and modern, reflects a broader artistic wave in which Félix anchors memory with present-day wit. He also keeps a keen eye on interactivity, shaping moments where spectators offer their own “lost formats,” and he folds them into the set with a host’s warmth and a director’s timing.

For us at Le Boui-Boui, hosting Flashback Generation VHS is about creating the exact conditions this material deserves: a room close enough to hear a chuckle turn into a roar, and a stage that lets Félix translate his cinematic mind into immediate, shared images. Expect elastic set pieces—Rewind Roulette, Tracking Snow Ballet, and The Last Late Fee—where he builds small universes out of sound cues, mime, and sharply turned lines, then slides into freewheeling asides that make each performance unique to Lyon. The analog heart of the show feels tailor-made for our space: the hush before a punchline clicks like a pause button; the release of laughter lands like “play” after a long hold. We value artists who treat an evening as a one-off encounter rather than a replica, and Félix embodies that ethos. As he continues to tour and develop the show, our stage offers a snapshot you won’t find on a clip: a live, collective rembobinage where your own memories become part of the act, spliced into a night that feels hand-labeled and singular.
