Le Voisin De Et Avec Benoît Turjman

At Le Complexe - Salle du Haut, we are delighted to welcome Le Voisin, de et avec Benoit Turjman, to our intimate upstairs room—a space designed for proximity, precision, and the kind of eye-to-eye complicity that physical comedy deserves. From the first moment the audience settles into our raked seating, the stage becomes a living corridor of everyday mysteries: a landing, a staircase, a door that almost closes. Here, silence is not a void but an instrument, and the slightest breath, rustle, or sidelong glance grows into a full symphony of storytelling. Our technical team has tuned the room for this exact alchemy: nuanced lighting that chisels the character’s silhouette, and sound design that magnifies the tiniest gesture without breaking the spell. The result is the rare experience of seeing a character appear before your eyes with no words at all—only the precise, generous language of movement, crafted for an audience close enough to catch every impulse behind the smile.

Le Voisin at Le Complexe - Salle du Haut

Le Voisin thrives on the smallest human frictions—those subtle rituals and near-misses that happen between neighbors, doors, and the rules we pretend to follow. In our Salle du Haut, the show reveals its full finesse: you can watch the character weigh a decision, flicker with doubt, or surrender to mischief with a barely-there shrug. The set pieces flow like a comic ballet, drawing laughter not from punchlines but from recognition: the way shoes squeak on a polished floor, how a key refuses to turn, how curiosity turns the ordinary hallway into a theatre of glorious mishap. Fans often speak of moments they call L’Ascenseur, La Boîte aux lettres, or Le Pigeon—recurring situations that distill the show’s deliciously universal humor. What makes this evening uniquely ours is the closeness: in our room, the timing lands with millimetric accuracy, and the audience’s collective breath becomes part of the score. We curate the light, calibrate the hush, and let Benoit Turjman’s virtuoso physicality color every inch of the stage so that each spectator leaves feeling they have met the neighbor, not just watched him.

Benoit Turjman: current artistic momentum

As a physical comedian, Benoit Turjman continues to expand the world of Le Voisin while keeping his craft rooted in precision and generosity—an evolution we are proud to showcase at Le Complexe - Salle du Haut. Beyond the stage, his recent short-form pieces—widely shared by audiences and often nicknamed by fans as L’Interphone, La Cage d’escalier, or La Fuite d’eau—underline his gift for stretching a single everyday incident into a complete comic universe. In our venue, this living repertoire meets a room built for nuance: the micro-pauses, the unexpected reversals, the quiet revelations that bloom into laughter. We program Le Voisin here because it speaks to all ages and languages, because it lets our audience rediscover what live performance can do without a single line spoken, and because Benoit Turjman’s current momentum promises ever-fresh variations within a meticulously crafted score. Whether you are encountering his work for the first time or returning to catch new shades of the neighbor’s misadventures, this date at Le Complexe - Salle du Haut offers the ideal vantage point—close, attentive, and perfectly tuned to the craft of a performer who can make a stairwell feel like the most exciting stage in the world.
