Frédéric Fromet - Se Tient à Carreau

Frédéric Fromet presents Se tient à carreau at THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON

We at THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON are delighted to welcome Frédéric Fromet with Se tient à carreau, a razor‑edged, musically charged evening that fits our stage like a glove. Our room thrives on artists who speak to the moment, and Fromet’s finely tuned blend of chanson and satire does exactly that. Expect nimble guitar, agile wordplay, and the mischievous charm that has made him a standout voice on French airwaves and stages alike. In our intimate setting, his barbs land with extra precision, his punchlines ripple across the rows, and his choruses invite the room to sing along—sometimes sweetly, sometimes with a gleeful sting. Se tient à carreau showcases a performer who can switch from tenderness to temerity in a matter of beats, dancing through current events without ever losing the joy of melody. We’re primed for his musical timing, his knack for crowd rapport, and those moments when collective laughter breaks into refrains that everyone instantly knows how to carry.

Recent spotlights and living satire on our stage

Fromet’s artistic pulse beats live every week on France Inter, where his appearances in C’est encore nous ! keep his pen—and his guitar—firmly tethered to the news cycle. His regular slot, La chanson de Frédéric Fromet, distills the week’s headlines into a witty, singable snapshot, a practice that directly feeds the spontaneity and freshness of Se tient à carreau. Many in our audience discovered him during the days of Par Jupiter!, and they now follow the new chapters of his radio adventures just as closely. Hosting him at THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON means inviting that same immediacy into the room: topical rhymes, refrains sharpened by the day’s debates, and the kind of call‑and‑response comedy that thrives on proximity. We relish how he folds politics, social mores, sports epics, ecological anxieties, pop‑culture kerfuffles, and European headlines into songs that are as catchy as they are caustic. The thrill for us as a venue is seeing a living, breathing set, where last week’s quip can be outdone by tonight’s punchline, and where the audience becomes the final instrument that completes the arrangement.

Se tient à carreau is built for a room like ours: personal without being private, audacious without losing warmth, melodic without sacrificing bite. When the lights go down at THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON, you’ll meet a showman who trusts the audience’s intelligence and delights in their complicity. Expect playful harmonies that set up sly reversals, limpid refrains that smuggle in barbed observations, and a pace that tacks between breezy sing‑alongs and laser‑guided satire. We prepare the stage for his agile shifts—acoustic intimacy one moment, uproarious communal chorus the next—so that every word is heard and every aside lands. Our team loves how he threads contemporary references into timeless songcraft; the result is an evening that feels both meticulously composed and thrillingly in the moment. Whether you come as a faithful listener of C’est encore nous ! or are discovering him anew, we’re ready to seat you close to the spark, where Se tient à carreau can unfold with maximum clarity, maximum laughter, and the kind of musical spontaneity that only truly live performance can ignite.
