Les Copines D'abord - Le Rideau Rouge De Lyon

Le Rideau Rouge welcomes Les Copines d’Abord

From our intimate stage at Le Rideau Rouge in Lyon, we are delighted to host Les Copines d’Abord, a spirited celebration of friendship, wit, and music crafted for the warm, close-quarter experience that defines our venue. The title says it all: this is a night where camaraderie takes center stage, and where the laughter and harmonies ring just a touch brighter because the audience is close enough to read every expression. In curating this date, we wanted a show that speaks to the communal heart of live performance, and Les Copines d’Abord does exactly that—merging playful storytelling with the kind of vocal blend and comic timing that thrives in our red-curtained room. Expect an exchange of energy with the performers, moments that invite you in, and a production shaped for the intimacy we cherish: finely tuned acoustics, nimble lighting that sculpts each scene, and a rhythm that lets punchlines land as gracefully as the refrains. Whether you come with your own “copines” or simply in the mood to be adopted by an entire room, this engagement is designed to feel personal, immediate, and joyously shared.

The artistic moment and what to expect on stage

Les Copines d’Abord arrives at Le Rideau Rouge with fresh momentum, a live snapshot of an ensemble continually renewing its material and refining its bond with the audience. In recent months the troupe has leaned into agile direction and crisp musical arrangements that heighten the interplay between voices and comedy, weaving episodes of cheeky banter into sequences where the music lifts the room. The show strings together moments that glow with contemporary resonance—expect clever nods to the rhythms and attitudes that have shaped today’s pop culture, with echoes of the bold empowerment you’ll recognize from titles like Balance ton quoi, Djadja, or La grenade, not as a jukebox promise but as a sensibility: catchy, frank, and feel-good. On our stage, that sensibility becomes tactile. The performers play off our room’s proximity, teasing out improvised asides, inviting a chorus response, and letting a song’s last note hang just long enough for a laugh to ripple. It’s a living, responsive performance language—part cabaret, part sketch, and all about the elastic chemistry that only happens live.

At Le Rideau Rouge, we’ve shaped the evening around this ensemble’s strengths: a fluid set where transitions are quick, the storytelling is nimble, and every beat finds its place. Scenic choices stay light to keep the pace playful, with accents of color and shadow helping each vignette snap into focus. You can expect a journey through moods—tender confidences, tongue-in-cheek revelations, winks to the classics, and a contemporary pulse that connects with our Lyon audience. We love how Les Copines d’Abord turns collective memory into a shared present: the kind of show where a whispered aside can become the laugh everyone remembers, and a hushed harmony can bring the room to stillness. Bring friends who love to sing along under their breath, bring someone who needs a night of lightness, or simply bring your curiosity; in our house, these performers make everyone feel like they’ve pulled up a chair at the same table. The result is a lively, generous showcase that keeps the spotlight on connection—between stage and seats, between story and song, and between copines, first and always.
