Soren Prévost - Tout Contre Moi

Sören Prévost at THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON

We are delighted to welcome Sören Prévost to THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON with his irresistibly personal one-man show, Tout contre moi. From our vantage point as a stage built for proximity, rhythm, and live exchange, his brand of comedy—intimate, agile, and keenly observant—feels tailor-made for the room. Our audience knows the thrill of being close enough to catch every raised eyebrow, every whisper that turns into a roar, and every mischievous pause before a punchline lands. Sören works in that same register of closeness: he invites spectators into his inner dialogue, spins it into a playful duel with himself, and turns self-critique into a communal laugh. The theatricality of his approach benefits from the venue’s crisp acoustics and concentrated sightlines, drawing attention to his craft: nimble timing, a swift pivot from tenderness to irony, and the ability to meet you eye-to-eye while he dissects the absurdities of modern life. Here, the boundaries between performer and audience are intentionally thin, and Tout contre moi takes full advantage of that electric nearness.

Inside the current artistic moment of Tout contre moi

Artistically, Sören Prévost arrives in Lyon in vibrant motion. He has spent recent months refining Tout contre moi on the road, sharpening its confessional engine and aligning it with the present tense: social overwhelm, the comedy of technological dependence, and the fragile bravado of our daily personas. The show nimbly references the media ecosystem that shapes our conversations, playfully deconstructing the rituals viewers know from Quotidien, the convivial pacing of C à vous, and the competitive absurdities of LOL: Qui rit, sort!. He also winks at the conversational nerve of Clique and the quick-fire banter that drives radio mainstays such as La Bande Originale, letting those cultural landmarks become springboards for his own inner debate. Everything funnels back to one question: what happens when the voice in your head takes the mic and refuses to step down? In Tout contre moi, that inner voice becomes a full character—confidant, heckler, coach, saboteur—oscillating between confession and caricature. The material breathes, too: Sören calibrates segments to incorporate the day’s headlines and the audience’s energy, making each performance a living page of the same witty, self-questioning diary.

As a house that prizes clarity of storytelling and the pulse of live laughter, THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON has prepared an intimate frame for the evening: clean, unfussy lighting that follows Sören’s quick transitions from anecdote to aside; sound that captures the grain of his voice when he whispers a secret and the snap of his timing when he detonates a punchline; seating that keeps everyone close enough to feel implicated in the joke, yet comfortable enough to ride the wave of laughs. Expect an elastic format that flows like a conversation rather than a rigid set list: the show toggles between mischievous self-portraits, observational riffs, and character sketches that test how far we can push honesty before it becomes theater—and how far theater can go before it becomes a mirror. If you enjoy comedy that speaks today’s language and plays with its references, you’ll recognize the world Sören maps out; and if you crave the singular spark of a room fully in the moment, this stop of Tout contre moi at THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON is where that spark finds oxygen.
