Hervé Barbereau - Hypnose, Tournée

Hervé Barbereau – Hypnose at THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON

At THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON, we are thrilled to welcome Hervé Barbereau with Hypnose, a live experience that turns our stage into a laboratory of imagination, suggestion, and laughter. Hosting this date in the heart of our season, we focus every detail—sound, lighting, and audience comfort—to make space for Barbereau’s trademark blend of precision, kindness, and showmanship. From the first moments in the auditorium, audiences sense the unique atmosphere that defines Hypnose: a space where volunteers are gently guided to the forefront and where spectators discover how quickly the mind can travel when it feels safe. Barbereau’s style is respectful and playful rather than confrontational; he crafts scenes that are never humiliating and always centered on shared amazement. Our team is on hand to ensure prime sightlines and a relaxed entry to the room, because this is a show that breathes with the audience—every performance is different, every reaction authentic, and every sequence calibrated for our stage.

Hypnose Tournée: a refined, ever-evolving encounter with the mind

Hypnose Tournée arrives at THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON with the vitality of a work that keeps evolving across cities and seasons. In recent months, Hervé Barbereau has expanded his repertoire of onstage experiments to highlight the clarity and comfort of hypnotic states: instant relaxation, playful sensory rewrites, and time-bending sequences that invite genuine astonishment rather than disbelief. As a venue, we appreciate how his approach favors trust and transparency; he explains what is about to happen, he invites volunteers rather than selects them at random, and he ensures everyone can return to their seat with a smile. The production design complements this ethos—clean soundscapes that cue attention, subtle lighting that draws the eye without overwhelming it, and a pacing that alternates between gentle demonstrations and bold collective moments. Hypnose Tournée thrives on the energy in the room, and our stage offers the intimacy that makes small gestures legible while still carrying the laughter and gasps that ripple through a full house.

For our audience in Lyon, the pleasure of hosting Hypnose is seeing how Hervé Barbereau turns curiosity into participation. Volunteers often come forward believing they won’t “go under,” only to discover how suggestions become irresistible when framed with care and consent. In our configuration at THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON, that journey unfolds with clarity: you will hear every word, catch every reaction, and feel the collective hush when the room leans in. Expect a show that travels from light-hearted scenes to deeper meditative moments, punctuated by sharp humor and a disarming sense of humanity. Barbereau’s current artistic momentum is palpable—tightened transitions, newly polished sequences, and audience interactions that keep each date fresh. Families, groups of friends, and the simply curious will find an evening that is both accessible and surprising. Our team is delighted to frame the experience with warm hospitality from door to stage, inviting you to witness a live event where imagination takes the lead and the everyday world briefly gives way to Hypnose.
