N ORMES at Radiant-Bellevue: a vivid, human-scale encounter

At Radiant-Bellevue, we are thrilled to welcome N ORMES by Agathe et Adrien, a tour that has quickly become a talking point for audiences eager for bold, contemporary stage writing. From our vantage point, the duo’s work stands out for the way it mixes precision, sensitivity, and an ever-curious eye on everyday life. Their current Tournee captures the urgency and empathy of the times without sacrificing wit or theatrical craft. Audiences here appreciate shows that breathe with them, and N ORMES does exactly that: it moves fluidly between intimate moments and ensemble energy, drawing the room into a shared conversation. The pair arrive in Lyon with a momentum built on their nationwide run, a growing following, and a creative appetite that keeps each performance alive and responsive. We’ve seen how their rehearsal notes translate into nuanced stage choices, and how their evolving tour version gives fresh shape to the text, movement, and timing—ensuring Radiant-Bellevue guests encounter a living work, not a fixed artifact.

Inside the staging: presence, rhythm, and generous dramaturgy

One of the pleasures of hosting N ORMES is watching how Agathe et Adrien calibrate rhythm and presence in our space. The performance balances playful exchanges with rigorous dramaturgy, creating a sequence of scenes that question social habits, reveal private contradictions, and celebrate the awkward beauty of being together. The show’s vocabulary—gestural, verbal, sometimes musical—adapts beautifully to the breadth of our stage, where the lighting design carves out crisp zones of attention and then floods the room with a collective glow. You can feel the care taken with transitions and pacing, the way a prop or a silence can redirect the audience’s gaze. Our technical team has relished the opportunity to match their meticulous cues: each fade, each sonic detail is shaped so that the humor stays buoyant and the tenderness lands with clarity. What we admire most is how the duo invite spectators to lean in; they open the door to recognition and laughter but leave enough space for each person to assemble their own meaning.

Artistically, Agathe et Adrien arrive at Radiant-Bellevue in full creative stride. The current leg of their Tournee highlights their taste for crafting scenes that feel both carefully composed and delightfully porous—ready for the energy of the night and the particularities of a Lyon audience. Their recent appearances have underlined a commitment to renewing the material: weaving in sharpened beats, refining the scenic routes between sequences, and testing subtle variations that keep the performance agile. For us, hosting this chapter of N ORMES means embracing a dialogue between artists and venue: we fine-tune sightlines so the smallest gesture reads clearly, we warm the acoustics to carry unamplified voices when needed, and we shape the welcome so the evening begins long before the first cue. Expect a show that speaks to the moment without lecturing, that plays with form without losing heart, and that uses Radiant-Bellevue as more than a backdrop—as a resonant partner in a living, shared experience.
