Félix Le Braz – Flashback Generation VHS at Le Boui-Boui

At Le Boui-Boui, we love when a performer transforms our intimate room into a full-fledged time machine, and that is exactly what happens when Felix Le Braz brings Flashback Generation VHS to our stage. From the moment he steps under our lights, the set feels tailor‑made for the closeness of our venue: playful crowd work, finely observed details about clunky remotes, video-club memberships, and the ritual of hitting “rewind” become collective memories that the audience can practically touch. We hear the low hiss of analog nostalgia in every laugh, as he re-creates living-room negotiations over what to tape, the panic of recording over a family event, and the sweet chaos of Saturday-morning cartoons bleeding into home videos. In our space, where every expression and beat lands at arm’s length, the show’s rhythm shines—storytelling that swings from physical comedy to crisp punchlines, punctuated by evocative sound cues and tactile props that make the past feel hilariously present.

What’s buzzing now: a retro lens on today’s pop culture

Félix arrives at Le Boui-Boui with genuine momentum: Flashback Generation VHS has become the backbone of a season devoted to sharpening new angles on nostalgia, with fresh clips circulating on social platforms and new dates building word of mouth. From our vantage point, it’s a joy to watch him weave contemporary references into the retro fabric: nods to Stranger Things, Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, The Last Blockbuster, and High Score give the analog memories modern resonance, while a playful wink at LOL, qui rit, sort! reframes how we quantize laughter today versus the DIY spirit of camcorders yesterday. In our post‑show exchanges, audiences often mention how these references collide with his stories about taped holiday movies, cartridge-era gaming, and the once-mystical status of the video-club card. That blend—current pop culture filtered through VHS fuzz—keeps the material alive, elastic, and primed for spontaneous riffs unique to each night here in Lyon.

As a room, we’re built for connection, and Félix uses that to its fullest. On our stage, Flashback Generation VHS becomes a collective scrapbook session, alive with call‑backs and cheeky “rewinds” that bounce between rows and draw out personal memories from every corner of Le Boui-Boui. The pacing lets him toggle between affectionate portraits—parents hunched over the camcorder, cousins guarding the family tape—and razor-sharp observation about how we stream, skip, and scroll today. We see him adjusting the set in real time, testing fresh transitions, polishing tags, and leaning into the laughter patterns unique to our crowd. If you crave the tactile thrill of a tape clicking into place and the sudden whoosh of a memory catching fire, this date at Le Boui-Boui is where Felix Le Braz’s craft meets the perfect acoustics for storytelling, turning analog crumbs into a feast of shared, cathartic comedy.
