Jovany - Le Dernier Saltimbanque (tournée)

Le Dernier Saltimbanque arrives at THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON

We are delighted to welcome Jovany and his tour Le Dernier Saltimbanque to THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON, where our stage is designed for the kind of intimate, high-wire artistry he practices. Expect a whirlwind of humor and virtuosity: stand-up that pivots into music, physical theater that morphs into lyrical asides, and razor-sharp timing that keeps the audience leaning forward. The show’s mischievous spirit fits our room perfectly—close enough for eye contact, dynamic enough for big laughs to ripple through the house. Jovany treats the stage like an instrument, moving from whispers to crescendos with the flair of a seasoned showman. In a single evening, he can sketch a character with a glance, turn a piano bench into a punchline, and orchestrate audience interaction that feels both unpredictable and safe. Our team has tailored lights, sound, and sightlines to mirror his quicksilver changes of rhythm, so that every flourish, pause, and musical accent lands with clarity and warmth.

Artistic momentum and a tour that rewards curiosity

Le Dernier Saltimbanque arrives in Lyon at a moment when Jovany’s creative energy is clearly in full flight. The tour continues to evolve: new transitions, fresh callbacks, and playful detours appear as he tests material city by city, refining the balance between farce, finesse, and musical bravura. Fans who love the sparkle of variety and contemporary comedy will feel right at home; the show channels the spirit of televised spectacles audiences know and love—from the grandeur associated with Le Plus Grand Cabaret du Monde to the fast-thinking punch of On n’demande qu’à en rire—while remaining unmistakably his own. In recent months, Jovany has leaned into a more cinematic pacing, threading story beats through bursts of physical comedy and instrumental punctuation, so the laugh lines come with rhythm and surprise. The result is a one-man cabaret that treats silence, sound, and movement as equal partners. At THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON, that approach translates into a living, breathing performance in which every reaction from the room becomes part of the score.
