Marie-claire Neveu - Hépatik Girl

Marie Claire Neveu presents Hepatik Girl at THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON

At THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON, we look forward to welcoming audiences for Marie Claire Neveu and her vital, high-energy one-woman show Hepatik Girl. From our vantage point inside the room, this is the kind of evening that transforms a stage into a living, breathing conversation: sharp writing, a fearless performer, and a public ready to laugh, think, and feel. Hepatik Girl blends stand-up bite with theatrical finesse—quick character pivots, physical comedy, and razor timing—so each beat lands cleanly in our intimate acoustics. The show’s engine is resilience: the body as a battlefield and a playground, the medical world as both labyrinth and comic foil, and the way personal stories can turn into universal punchlines. Expect playful stagecraft—sound cues that wink, lighting that underlines the irony, and a pace designed to keep even the last row leaning forward. It’s a generous, accessible performance that thrives in a venue like ours, where proximity amplifies every nuance and shared laughter stitches the room together.

The artist’s current spark: new material, new energy

Our team follows the momentum around Marie Claire Neveu with real enthusiasm: she’s clearly in a creative groove, crafting segments that balance tenderness, wit, and a keen sense of observation. In recent sets, she has been trailering fresh bits that audiences quickly latch onto—sketches like Salle d’Attente, Foie Power, Superhépatique, Carnet de Santé, and Prise de Sang have become calling cards for a style that is as precise as it is playful. What stands out to us, as a venue, is how she shapes a narrative spine from fragment to fragment, so that each recurring motif—bureaucratic forms, waiting-room myths, the unexpected poetry of test results—returns with bigger laughs and deeper echoes. This current wave of writing dovetails perfectly with Hepatik Girl, which gives her the frame to move between confession and caricature without losing clarity. Whether you discovered her through a recent clip, an onstage sneak peek, or word of mouth, this is the moment to see the material in full flight, with the calibrated rhythm that only a live room like THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON can reveal.

From our side of the curtain, Hepatik Girl is built like a great concert: a purposeful “setlist” of scenes, call-backs that reward careful listeners, and interludes that breathe just enough to let the humor ripple across the seats. The narrative arc tightens as the evening progresses—each sketch nudges the next forward—so the laughter compounds while the emotional payoff gathers weight. Our technical crew has tuned the space for the show’s dynamics: crisp amplification for rapid-fire lines, warm wash lighting for intimate confessions, and targeted cues for those moments when a punchline needs a flash of theatricality. Marie Claire Neveu makes the most of that canvas, switching registers without breaking pace, inviting the audience into asides that feel personal yet disciplined. It’s the kind of performance that reminds us why small-to-medium theaters matter: the human scale of the room multiplies the connection between artist and audience. If you’re seeking an evening in Lyon where humor meets heart, where form meets freedom, we’re proud to host Hepatik Girl at THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON—an encounter with a singular voice in full creative stride.
