A fresh artistic chapter on tour

Les Demoiselles du K-Barre arrive at THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON in the heart of a lively artistic moment: Burlesk is on the road, and with it comes a refreshed collection of set pieces that showcase the troupe’s gift for reinvention. Their latest iteration foregrounds theatrical finesse—silhouette-driven storytelling, tight comedic timing, and a confident swing between parody and homage. The costumes are a character of their own: gleaming textures, audacious cuts, and witty reveals that punctuate each tableau. Musically, the evening flows with a cinematic sense of montage, weaving familiar themes into unexpected arrangements that amplify the comedy while keeping the dance front and center. This is a celebration of cabaret’s living tradition—teasing, daring, and always human—filtered through a modern lens that prizes consent, complicity with the audience, and inclusive joy. Whether you come to marvel at the choreography, relish the satire, or simply be swept up by the atmosphere, Burlesk lands with the confidence of a troupe that knows exactly how to turn a night at the theatre into an event.

For us at THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON, hosting Les Demoiselles du K-Barre means curating an experience that starts before the lights dim and lingers long after the curtain falls. Our team has tuned every detail—sightlines that bring you close to the performance, sound that illuminates every vocal flourish and rimshot, and a setting that invites the kind of gleeful call-and-response this show inspires. Burlesk’s structure—short, punchy scenes that escalate in audacity—works beautifully here, letting the room breathe between crescendos and encouraging spontaneous applause, laughter, and the occasional collective gasp. We love how the troupe engages with the crowd: they play to the balcony and the front rows equally, turning the space into a conspiratorial playground where glamour and comedy meet. If you’re discovering burlesque for the first time, this is a welcoming doorway; if you’re a devoted fan, you’ll recognize the craft in the details and the spark of live theatre that makes every performance singular.
