Pas Dodo at THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON

At THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON, we love welcoming shows that spark imagination, ignite laughter, and linger in memory long after the curtain call. Pas Dodo arrives as one of those rare theatrical experiences that feels both intimate and expansive: a playful, finely crafted piece about the little hours of the night, the whispering world of half-sleep, and the mischievous energy that keeps eyes wide open when they should be closing. Our stage is designed to bring you close to the performers’ subtle gestures and inventive stagecraft—expect finely tuned physical theater, deft visual gags, and an immersive soundscape that transforms familiar nighttime rituals into living poetry. Families, groups of friends, and curious theatergoers will find an experience paced with tenderness and humor, balancing moments of gentle calm with bursts of joyous chaos. We are preparing the room for a genuinely shared encounter: a warm welcome at the door, comfortable sightlines throughout the seating plan, and a lighting design calibrated to draw you into the delicate nocturnal world of Pas Dodo.

An artist-in-residence spirit, a living creation

What makes Pas Dodo so exciting for us at THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON is the energy of the artistic team behind it. This is a living creation—the kind that keeps evolving with each audience, each city, each hush and laugh. The company’s current artistic momentum is palpable: recent workshops with young audiences, research sessions that deepen the piece’s musical textures and choreography, and a rhythm of performances that fine-tune the show’s surprising transitions. Whether you come for the inventive movement, the delicate humor of nightly rituals, or the unexpectedly lyrical use of everyday objects, you’ll sense an ensemble in step with its moment, speaking to both children’s wonder and adults’ nostalgia. We champion this quality of craftsmanship: precise, generous, and generous again, offering a poetic portrait of wide-awake nights that never talks down to anyone. Pas Dodo lands here at just the right time, with our stage ready to cradle its dreamlike pulse.

Our role, as ever, is to curate the best possible encounter between audience and performance. THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON provides a warm foyer for pre-show conversations, a relaxed bar for post-show reflections, and a technical team committed to acoustics that let every whisper, breath, and rhythmic tap carry clearly to the back row. We schedule the evening to welcome early arrivals, and we tailor our front-of-house flow so families and groups can settle easily, with staff on hand to help you find your perfect seat.
