La Cookie Tastrophe

At Acte 2 Théâtre: hosting La Cookie-Tastrophe

At Acte 2 Théâtre, we are thrilled to welcome La Cookie-Tastrophe to our stage, a playful, high-spirited piece that speaks to families, school groups, and anyone who cherishes the joy of collective storytelling. From our vantage point backstage, we’ve watched the creative team shape a world where an everyday treat becomes the catalyst for adventure, mishap, and laughter. The set and lighting invite imagination to do the heavy lifting: simple objects transform, rhythms grow into scenes, and small gestures ripple into large discoveries. Our technical crew has tailored the space to highlight the show’s physicality and its nimble pacing, ensuring that every gasp, giggle, and moment of wonder is balanced with clarity for younger attendees and layers of humor for adults. In the intimate setting of Acte 2 Théâtre, La Cookie-Tastrophe thrives on closeness—performers meet audiences eye to eye, and the auditorium becomes a partner in play, the ideal environment for a story that celebrates resourcefulness, friendship, and the sweet alchemy of making something together.

Artistic momentum and a shared experience in Lyon

We are presenting La Cookie-Tastrophe at a moment when its creators are clearly energized by new encounters with audiences. Across the season, they continue to refine their approach to family theatre: small-scale scenes bloom into spirited set pieces, mime and movement dovetail with soundscapes, and a dash of audience participation keeps the action delightfully unpredictable. Rather than leaning on spectacle for its own sake, the production revels in timing, rhythm, and the choreography of everyday chaos; a dropped whisk can spark a chain reaction, a whispered secret can upend the plan. From our perspective as a host venue in Lyon, that artistic momentum matters: it translates into a show that feels freshly kneaded at every performance, responsive to the room and attentive to the youngest viewers without ever talking down to them. The team’s ongoing workshops and creative labs—focused on play, listening, and collaborative invention—feed directly into what you’ll see on stage, lending La Cookie-Tastrophe a living, evolving texture that we love to program.

Our house values productions that make room for curiosity, and La Cookie-Tastrophe aligns beautifully with that ethos. The staging’s compact, agile design makes the most of our theatre’s contours, drawing the eye from countertop to cloud of flour, from whispered planning to exuberant problem-solving. You can expect a balance of visual humor and quiet tenderness: a recipe shared as a rite of passage, a misunderstanding that turns into a game, and a final flourish that lands with warmth rather than noise. We’ve prepared the auditorium to welcome families comfortably, with clear sightlines and a sound mix calibrated for ears of every age. For teachers and caregivers, the show opens plenty of post-performance conversations—about sharing, patience, teamwork, and the joyful mess of learning by doing—while remaining light on its feet and generous with laughter. As the host, we’ve seen how children lean forward during the show’s clever reversals and how adults smile at its knowing asides. La Cookie-Tastrophe is a heartfelt invitation to slow down, play together, and savor the small miracles that occur when imagination takes the lead at Acte 2 Théâtre.
