La Cookie Tastrophe

Acte 2 Théâtre welcomes La Cookie-Tastrophe

At Acte 2 Théâtre in Lyon, we are delighted to open our doors to La Cookie-Tastrophe, a playful family adventure that turns our stage into a joyful whirlwind of flour, rhythm, and imagination. From the vantage point of our intimate venue, the crackle of a mixing bowl, the rustle of a chef’s apron, and the giggles of young audiences are magnified into a warm, shared experience. We cherish programming that celebrates curiosity, teamwork, and the magic of live performance, and this new date promises all three in delectable abundance. True to our house spirit, the show invites children and their grown-ups to discover theatre as a space where the everyday—like a simple cookie—can sparkle with wonder. Expect a bright, kinetic atmosphere, charming mishaps in a make-believe bakery, and a tempo that keeps little ones leaning forward while still leaving room for surprise and imagination.

A sensory, musical, and interactive feast for families

La Cookie-Tastrophe embraces the language of clowning, physical theatre, and music to tell its story without ever losing sight of the audience. Kitchen tools become instruments, rhythms bubble up from wooden spoons and tin trays, and a sprinkle of slapstick keeps the laughter rising. The show’s staging revels in lively textures—soft dough, floating flour, the glow of an oven door—crafting a sensory world that pulls children from observation into participation, while always keeping things safe and welcoming. Our team at Acte 2 Théâtre is particularly fond of how this production balances momentum with clarity: energetic sequences give way to quiet beats of discovery, so younger audiences can follow and anticipate. The themes resonate with families—patience, cooperation, resilience, and the art of trying again—wrapped in humor that never talks down. It’s the kind of theatre that invites the audience to become co-bakers of the story, whisking up solutions when a recipe goes awry and cheering when teamwork triumphs.

We’re equally excited to highlight the creative energy surrounding the company behind La Cookie-Tastrophe this season. Their current artistic momentum is devoted to original family pieces that reward active listening and playful participation, with fresh material shaped by encounters with audiences across France. That spirit of exchange carries into their time with us at Acte 2 Théâtre, where they’ll bring a polished, tour-ready staging while remaining open to the spontaneous joy that makes each performance unique. Our venue’s close-up configuration lets children see craft at work—the precise timing of a gag, the choreography of props, the quicksilver musical cues—so families leave not just entertained, but inspired by how a story is built in real time. Whether you’re discovering our theatre for the first time or returning for another family outing, La Cookie-Tastrophe is an invitation to step into a room where creativity smells like something baking and laughter is the secret ingredient that keeps everyone coming back for one more bite.
