Laura Calu - Senk (tournée)

Laura Calu brings SENK to Radiant-Bellevue

At Radiant-Bellevue, we are delighted to welcome Laura Calu with SENK, a date that promises the electrically charged, heartfelt comedy our audiences love. From our vantage point backstage and out in the room, we know how her quick-fire timing, physical presence, and generous rapport transform a night at the theatre into a shared celebration. Many in Lyon and Caluire-et-Cuire first discovered her on stage with En grand; now, with SENK, she returns with sharpened writing and a vibrant sense of connection that feels tailor-made for our hall. We have prepared the space to honor the rhythms of stand-up: intimate sightlines, crisp sound for her vocal nuances and asides, and a lighting design that follows the movement of her storytelling. Expect a warm welcome and a set that moves freely between character portraits, confessional humor, and social observation—an arc that thrives in our room, where the laugh travels fast and the silence, when she wants it, holds beautifully.

Artistic momentum and what to expect on our stage

Laura Calu arrives amid strong artistic momentum. SENK is the engine of her current tour, but it’s also a creative reset: new angles, new characters, and new riffs that speak to the moment—identity, friendships under pressure, the love/hate dance with social media, and the surprising tenderness in everyday chaos. For those who followed En grand, the continuity is clear: the same bold physicality and comedic fearlessness, now refined into tighter beats and bigger payoffs. Our team has seen how quickly her crowd work ignites a room; the balcony leans in, the parterre follows, and the stage becomes a playground for spontaneous detours that keep each performance alive and unrepeatable. She crafts crescendos that our acoustics carry with precision, letting a whisper land as surely as a roar. It’s the kind of set that rewards live presence, and in our venue the mutual energy between artist and audience becomes part of the show itself.

Hosting Laura Calu at Radiant-Bellevue is also a way of showcasing what our stage does best: framing singular voices with care and clarity. We shape the evening around the ebb and flow of her storytelling—an opening that draws you close, a central stretch where the stakes rise and laughs stack, and a closing surge that leaves the room buzzing. Our technical crew has tailored every cue to keep focus on the performer while preserving the quick reactive feel that stand-up demands. Whether you’re arriving from central Lyon or from the neighborhoods around Caluire-et-Cuire, you’ll find a convivial atmosphere in the foyer and a room calibrated for comfort and attention. SENK finds its ideal echo here: a contemporary show in a contemporary theatre, where the personal becomes collective and a punchline can spark a hundred different memories. We look forward to sharing that spark with you at Radiant-Bellevue.
