Artistic momentum, staging, and the experience we curate

From an artistic standpoint, the creative team behind La Soirée Criminelle arrives at La Fabuleuse Cantine - Lyon with a refined dramaturgical approach that blends live acting, documentary textures, and cinematic lighting. The company’s recent work has focused on deepening audience interaction without losing the narrative throughline: clues are introduced with a filmmaker’s precision, the rhythms of interrogation are scored to original music, and the timing of reveals respects both the thrill of deduction and the satisfaction of resolution. This season, the collective has honed modular scenes that can pivot based on audience intuition, allowing each performance to breathe and surprise. For us as hosts, that elasticity is a gift—we shape the room around it, tuning the proximity between performers and spectators so whispers carry and details matter. Expect a polished scenography that makes deft use of projection, fragments of archive, and tactile evidence props; expect performers who are generous with eye contact and micro-gestures; expect a sound design that favors psychological tension over sudden shocks. Most of all, expect to be invited into the process, whether you prefer to analyze quietly or step forward with a theory.

We take pride in how La Fabuleuse Cantine - Lyon frames this experience. Our team calibrates the flow of the evening so you have time to settle, observe, and form hypotheses before key turns arrive. Seating is arranged to encourage both intimacy and collaboration, with clear sightlines to every performative focal point. The show’s interactive mechanics are explained with clarity at the outset, ensuring that newcomers to immersive theatre feel at ease. Throughout, our staff remains attentive to comfort—lighting transitions are gentle yet purposeful, the room temperature is stabilized for focus, and sound levels are mixed for intelligibility without fatigue. We also emphasize sustainability and local partnerships in everything we do; the materials and ambiance elements you encounter are thoughtfully sourced to reduce waste while preserving the lush, noir-ish tone of the evening. Whether you come as seasoned mystery lovers or simply curious to try something different in Lyon’s vibrant cultural landscape, La Soirée Criminelle offers a rare blend of craft and play. We encourage guests to arrive a little early to enjoy the venue, compare notes during interludes, and linger afterward to exchange final theories—the perfect way to extend the narrative glow of a night that treats every spectator like a detective.
