La Cookie Tastrophe

At Acte 2 Théâtre: welcoming La Cookie-Tastrophe

At Acte 2 Théâtre in Lyon, we are delighted to open our stage to La Cookie-Tastrophe, a playful, family-ready production that treats everyday mischief as high adventure. From the moment the lights dim, our auditorium becomes a warm laboratory of imagination where gags, rhythm, and inventive stagecraft whisk audiences into a world where a tiny kitchen mishap can spiral into a joyous odyssey. As hosts, we have shaped the experience around intimacy and visibility: the set’s clever scale, the attention to sightlines, and our focused sound design invite children and adults alike to lean in, listen closely, and laugh together. The show’s heartbeat is comic timing—those deft pauses and quickfire rebounds that read from the very front row to the back. Whether you join us as a family, a school group, or as curious theatre-goers, you will find the performance paced to keep young minds captivated while giving grown-ups that wink of second-level humour we love programming on our stage.

Behind the scenes: a season of momentum for the company

Welcoming La Cookie-Tastrophe allows us to spotlight a company in full creative momentum. This season, their craft has sharpened in the rehearsal room: brisk, precise movement; crisp, characterful transitions; and a musical sensibility that supports action without ever overwhelming the storytelling. We have followed their work as they refresh their approach to family theatre—leaning into visual comedy, nimble prop work, and audience interplay to spark participation without pressure. Their current trajectory is defined by resilience and curiosity: they road-test moments with young spectators, fine-tune lines for clarity and comic payoff, and keep the scenography adaptable, making each venue a partner in the narrative. In conversation with our team, the artists have emphasised accessibility—clear cues for children, generous pacing for first-time theatre-goers, and an inclusive performance language that privileges gesture and rhythm as much as text. La Cookie-Tastrophe crystallises that ethos in a compact, colourful format built for the friendly scale of Acte 2 Théâtre.

From our side, we have tailored the in-room experience to serve the style and spirit of La Cookie-Tastrophe. The stage layout at Acte 2 Théâtre highlights the show’s hands-on inventiveness: minimal elements reassemble at speed, turning a countertop into a playground of imagination and a stray crumb into the spark for a chase, a puzzle, or a perfectly timed joke. Our lighting team focuses on warm tones and soft contrasts, keeping young eyes at ease while guiding attention to each reveal; our sound team balances tactile foley touches with bright musical cues so laughter can breathe. Seating is configured to keep children close to the action without crowding, and our staff are on hand for gentle guidance during interactive moments. We have curated performances at times that suit families and school groups, and we encourage you to arrive a little early to settle, meet our ushers, and soak up the atmosphere. La Cookie-Tastrophe is exactly the kind of agile, generous storytelling we cherish at Acte 2 Théâtre: a compact burst of stage magic that invites audiences to discover how the tiniest mishap can rise, swirl, and—like good dough—become something delightfully larger than life.
