La Vérité (tournée)

La Vérité at Radiant-Bellevue

At Radiant-Bellevue, we are delighted to welcome La Vérité, a sparkling, nerve-tingling portrait of love, omission, and the elegant chaos of everyday deceit. Our stage was designed for exactly this sort of nimble, conversational theatre: the kind where rhythm, silence, and a raised eyebrow can be as explosive as a confession. As a venue, we pride ourselves on proximity between audience and actors; the sightlines and acoustic clarity in our main hall allow the volleys of wit and the undertows of doubt in La Vérité to land with precision. Expect a production that plays like a game of mirrors—where every explanation births another question, and every smile masks a secret. The touring ensemble brings a crisp tempo and an elastic sense of irony, the kind that shifts from laughter to unease in a heartbeat. We have tailored the lighting and sound to emphasize the text’s quicksilver shifts of mood, ensuring that even the softest aside or the slightest hesitation resonates throughout Radiant-Bellevue.

The artist’s current spotlight

La Vérité is one of the most incisive entries in a body of work that has shaped contemporary theatre across Europe and beyond. The author’s recent visibility extends from stage to screen, with wide acclaim for The Father and continued discussion around The Son, whose harrowing moral and familial questions reverberate through audiences worldwide. On stage, the constellation formed by Le Père, Le Fils, and La Mère has been revived internationally, keeping the dramaturgy in constant conversation with new generations of directors and actors. Within that constellation, La Vérité converses slyly with Le Mensonge, tracing a nuanced cartography of honesty and its strategic alternatives. The touring team presenting La Vérité at Radiant-Bellevue aligns with this living tradition: performances that are clean-cut yet playful, direction that favors lucid spatial geometry, and design choices that let language and timing do the heavy lifting. We selected this production for its rigor and its appetite for risk; it treats the audience as confidants, not spectators, inviting the kind of complicity that only a live room can generate.

From our vantage point in Caluire-et-Cuire, moments away from central Lyon, we see the appetite for incisive, dialog-driven theatre growing season after season, and La Vérité answers that appetite with brio. The text’s architecture—short scenes that reset the board with each entrance and exit—thrives in our house, where the proximity intensifies dramatic stakes and sharpens punchlines. Our technical team has prepared a sound design that respects the natural cadence of voices while adding just enough atmosphere to heighten a glance, a phone vibration, a door closing at the wrong moment. With comfortable seating tiers, generous legroom, and a stage framed for intimacy rather than spectacle, Radiant-Bellevue offers a vantage that keeps every tell—the furtive look, the half-smile, the micro-delay before an answer—clearly visible. We invite audiences who have followed Le Père, Le Fils, La Mère, or discovered the artist through The Father and The Son on screen to join us for this live encounter with La Vérité. It is the rare evening that makes you laugh out loud while quietly asking how much truth any of us really wants—and in our hall, where every reaction ripples through the room, that question becomes a shared, electric experience.
