L'amour à La Carte - Théâtre à L'ouest - Lyon

A season highlight at THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON

From our stage at THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON, we are delighted to welcome L'amour à la carte, a deliciously incisive evening that explores modern romance the way only live theater can: up close, playful, and irresistibly human. The show treats love like a menu—starters, mains, and desserts of emotions—inviting audiences to savor scenes that glide from first glances to late-night confessions, from awkward texts to unexpected tenderness. Our room’s intimate acoustics and sightlines are made for this style of performance: quick changes of rhythm, sparkling punchlines that land with precision, and moments of quiet honesty that settle over the crowd like candlelight. L'amour à la carte thrives on the energy in the room, and you will feel how the performers tune themselves to the collective heartbeat, serving a tasting menu of situations that feel as if they were written after eavesdropping at your favorite café. It’s a brisk, witty, and warm-hearted experience, perfectly at home in our theater’s convivial atmosphere.

Who’s behind the show, and what they’re cooking up right now

The creative team behind L'amour à la carte has been sharpening its flavors this season, adding new ingredients to an already generous plate of comedy and observation. Their recent sketch additions—Le Match Tinder, Réunion de famille: mode d’emploi, Service Après-Rupture, Table pour un, and L’Addition émotionnelle—slide seamlessly into the flow of the evening, each segment pairing sharp writing with deft physical timing. They balance character-driven storytelling with bursts of improvisation, letting the performers riff when the audience leans forward, then snapping back to tightly structured scenes with satisfying comedic payoffs. What’s striking, watching from the wings at THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON, is the show’s evolving texture: a little more musical punctuation here, a fresh visual gag there, and a renewed appetite for truthful moments that anchor the laughs. This ongoing creative polish is the troupe’s hallmark right now; they’re not just touring a set menu—they’re revising it in real time, listening to the room, and serving the crowd the freshest course of the night.
