Shame Of Thrones - La Fin D"un Règne

At Espace Gerson: welcoming Shame of Thrones: la fin d'un règne to our stage

At Espace Gerson, we relish the nights when a sharp, playful sense of theatre takes over our intimate room, and that is precisely the atmosphere we expect with Shame of Thrones: la fin d'un règne. From our vantage point in the heart of Lyon’s comedy scene, this irreverent saga lands on our stage with a promise: to revisit a beloved fantasy universe through razor-edged wit, timing, and a joyfully cheeky imagination. Our audience knows that in our venue proximity matters; the front row feels like a conspirator’s bench, the back row hears every whisper of irony. That closeness amplifies the show’s quick-fire punchlines, character-switching, and the wry asides that reward attentive ears. Expect a rhythm that oscillates between audacious set-pieces and nimble improvisational flourishes, the kind that play beautifully in our brick-and-velvet cocoon. With a technical set-up that privileges clarity of voice and crisp lighting cues, Espace Gerson is ready to let the humor breathe, build, and explode—so each jab, callback, and narrative detour lands with satisfying precision for a Lyonnais crowd that loves its satire smart, fast, and a little bit ferocious.

The artist’s current momentum and what the audience can anticipate

The creative force behind Shame of Thrones: la fin d'un règne arrives at Espace Gerson on a strong run of momentum, propelled by recent sketch drops and stage iterations that have sharpened the show’s satirical blade. Fans who follow their latest work will recognize the tonal finesse of recent pieces like Le Conseil Restreint, a mock-crisis summit bristling with double-crosses and deadpan protocol, or Le Débrief du Roi de la Nuit, a darkly playful post-battle press conference with punchlines colder than the North. There’s also the episodic Le Bilan des Sept Couronnes, where power struggles become managerial stand-ups with biting one-liners, and Le Banquet Improbable, a social farce built on etiquette, allegiances, and a suspiciously empty goblet. These sketches, circulated on stage and online, map directly onto the theatrical engine of the show: brisk character pivots, knowingly meta storytelling, and a comic instinct for turning epic stakes into office politics and family dinners into tribunals. By the time the troupe steps onto our stage, the material hums with a well-rehearsed snap—devised for laughter, but calibrated for a room like ours, where each reaction guides the next twist.

In performance at Espace Gerson, Shame of Thrones: la fin d'un règne plays with the crowd as much as with the canon, and our room’s configuration is tailored to those moments of conspiratorial fun. Expect agile multi-role performances, a volley of callbacks that reward attention, and set-pieces that lean on rhythmic dialogue, mock-heroic monologues, and sly audience addresses. The writing blends affectionate homage with a provocateur’s instinct, letting familiar archetypes collide with modern anxieties: leadership gone awry becomes a gag about KPIs, prophecies turn into spammy push alerts, and a legendary throne finds itself subject to workplace safety rules. We have fine-tuned sound and light to spotlight these tonal shifts—the hush before a barb, the flourish after a reveal—so the room can surf the show’s comic waves together. Whether you come as diehard lore keepers or as curious newcomers, the experience here is one of collective laughter choreographed in close quarters, where every gasp, snicker, and roar informs the next beat. That’s the Espace Gerson promise: to host the kind of comedic storytelling that feels both grand and gloriously up-close, giving Shame of Thrones: la fin d'un règne the lively, responsive home it deserves in Lyon.
