Shame Of Thrones - La Fin D"un Règne

At Espace Gerson: a royal send‑off

At Espace Gerson, we are delighted to host Shame of Thrones - La fin d'un règne, a razor‑sharp parody that bows to epic fantasy while lovingly skewering its myths, monarchs, and fan theories. In our intimate, comedy‑first setting, the production’s quickfire pace, lashing wit, and mischievous crowd work land with maximum impact: you are close enough to feel the crackle of every aside, the wink of every feigned prophecy, and the ricochet of each punchline as plots twist faster than a dragon in a storm. Our stage team has tailored the experience to Espace Gerson’s strengths—snappy black‑box dynamism, nimble lighting cues, and a sound design that vaults from courtly whispers to battlefield bravado in a heartbeat—so the troupe’s quick changes, musical interludes, and meta‑theatrical jabs become a gleeful carousel of characters. Whether you arrive steeped in saga lore or just eager for an evening of audacious comedy, Shame of Thrones - La fin d'un règne turns fandom into fuel and turns the house into a riot of laughter.

Current artistic momentum and what to expect on stage

The ensemble behind Shame of Thrones - La fin d'un règne has carried strong momentum onto our Lyon calendar, cultivating a following through live clips, touring dates, and savvy digital teasers that showcase their taste for big ideas told with low‑tech ingenuity. Recent sketch drops—Le Conseil des Sept, Les Noces Pourpres (enfin presque), and La Marche de la Honte Remix—hint at their method: take the canonical moments everyone debates, then rewire them with musical punchlines, sideways logic, and audience complicity. That energy infuses their latest iteration at Espace Gerson. Expect prop comedy that turns crowns into running gags, mock‑epic ballads that vault from lute pastiche to hard‑hitting beatbox, and a script that treats spoilers like setup lines. The show thrives on reversals: heroes become interns, villains moonlight as crisis communications advisors, and prophecies misprint themselves mid‑sentence. It’s generous, too—the performers relish giving the crowd roles to play, whether it’s voting on the next “royal decree” or deciding which house anthem gets the encore.

From our vantage point at Espace Gerson, the thrill is watching craft meet chaos in real time. The cast’s chemistry is airtight: a sideways glance turns into a callback three scenes later; a thrown‑away quip becomes the linchpin of a finale that reimagines an entire dynasty with nothing more than a cloak, a goblet, and the audacity to bend the fourth wall. We’ve leaned into that live‑wire spirit with a staging plan that keeps the playing area porous—double entrances for surprise reveals, a lighting plot that snaps from council chamber to tavern brawl, and crisp transitions that keep the banter airborne. While Shame of Thrones - La fin d'un règne celebrates the end of an era, it also spotlights a troupe at the height of its comedic invention. Their recent live bits like Le Banquet Qui Déraille, La Main du Roi… en CDD, and Dragon à Louer feed directly into the performance here, ensuring that fans who’ve followed their latest material online will catch new layers, and first‑timers will discover why audiences across the circuit have been roaring. Come ready to cheer, boo, and maybe write one decree of your own—our court is in session, and at Espace Gerson, the laughter rules.
