Une drôle de sorcière at THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON

At THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON, we are delighted to welcome families, schools, and curious theatergoers to discover Une drôle de sorcière, a playful and heartwarming production that celebrates imagination with a generous dose of mischief. From our vantage point as a venue devoted to live performance, this show feels tailor-made for our stage: intimate enough to invite whisper-close magic and quick-fire gags, yet broad in its storytelling to reach every corner of the room. The title character—a witch who refuses to fit the usual clichés—guides audiences through a lively journey where laughter, surprises, and tender moments intertwine. Expect a colorful blend of physical comedy, nimble storytelling, and light-touch illusions that sparkle under our lights. The team behind the production embraces the essentials of family theater—clarity, rhythm, and warmth—so that children stay engaged while adults discover winks of humor and meaning layered into the narrative. In Decines-Charpieu, where our audience bridges generations, it’s the kind of shared experience that turns a simple outing into a memory.

What audiences will experience

From the first cue, Une drôle de sorcière invites participation without pressure, creating a safe, playful space where the unexpected becomes a friend. The staging thrives on nimble transitions and smart visual cues: a prop transforms, a costume detail flips the scene, a line lands and ripples through the audience. Our technical team has leaned into the show’s vibrant colors and precise sound work so that tiny details—rustling pages, a broom’s soft whoosh, the sparkle of a spell—carry to every seat. Children will find in the sorcière a companion in curiosity and courage, while adults will notice how the piece quietly nudges themes of difference, friendship, and self-confidence. It’s paced to keep hearts light and eyes wide, with moments of gentle suspense that resolve in laughter. The performers’ rapport with the room is a hallmark: they listen, play, and pivot in real time, crafting a live conversation that feels fresh at each performance. This responsiveness is exactly why we brought the production to our stage; it amplifies what theater does best—making the audience a true partner in the story.

As part of our programming at THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON, Une drôle de sorcière also resonates with our broader season focus on inventive, accessible creations that travel well between family matinees and weekend evenings. We value artists who evolve in front of their audience, enriching their productions with new comic beats, sharpened timing, and visual touches that elevate the narrative. The creative team’s current momentum is clear in the care they bring to character work and in the way they refine the interplay between comedy and tenderness. We’ve seen them lean into a tactile stage language—props with personality, gestures that read instantly, musical accents that guide attention—so even our youngest spectators can follow each turn of the tale. For teachers and group leaders, the show opens doors to conversations about empathy and resourcefulness; for parents, it provides an hour of shared joy that bridges different ages. Our role is to frame that magic with comfortable seating, crisp sightlines, and precise technical support, ensuring that every giggle, gasp, and glittering moment lands with full effect. In short, the production brings the right mix of craft and heart to our house—playful enough for first-time theatergoers, layered enough for seasoned audiences, and, above all, alive in the here and now on our stage.
