Une Drôle De Sorcière - Théâtre à L'ouest - Lyon, Decines Charpieu

Une drôle de sorcière arrives at THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON

At THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON in Décines-Charpieu, we love welcoming stories that invite families to lean forward together, and Une drôle de sorcière is precisely that kind of theatrical treat. From the moment the house lights fade, the stage becomes a playful world of gentle mischief, colorful props, and a mischievous witch whose quirks spark laughter as much as wonder. Designed for young audiences yet sprinkled with winks for accompanying adults, the production blends physical comedy, a touch of magic, and interactive moments that encourage children to call out, sing along, or help the heroine make the “right” choice. Our room’s intimate sightlines and warm acoustics are perfect for a show that thrives on eye contact and shared discovery; you feel close to the action, anchored by the craft of performers who understand how to turn a theater into a safe space for courage and curiosity. With a running time adapted to family attention spans and a rhythm that alternates gentle frights with reassuring humor, Une drôle de sorcière lets little ones explore themes of friendship, resourcefulness, and the fun of being different—without ever losing the buoyant, mischievous energy that keeps them giggling.

From our stage to their season: artistic momentum behind the cauldron

We are thrilled to host this latest stop in the team’s ongoing season, because the artists behind Une drôle de sorcière have been refining a style of family theater that is as visually inventive as it is emotionally accessible. Their current creative momentum emphasizes responsive performance—moments that evolve with each audience—and artisanal stagecraft: hand-made set pieces, sound cues performed in real time, and transitions that transform the stage as if by enchantment. Between tours, the company has been crafting fresh material for workshops and school matinées, channeling the show’s themes into playful exercises that let children try a clown’s walk, pantomime a spell, or experiment with rhythm and call-and-response. We value how this approach respects young spectators as true theatergoers, inviting them into the art form with clarity and kindness. In our space, that dialogue is palpable: when the witch hesitates at a crossroads, children shout their advice; when a prop springs to life, adults laugh at the elegant simplicity of the trick. It’s living theater—close-up, joyful, and tuned to the present moment—delivered by a cast and creative crew who relish the give-and-take of a packed family matinee.

Hosting Une drôle de sorcière at THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON also means curating the full experience around the performance. Our team prepares the foyer to welcome strollers and small explorers, and we time doors and seating to make arrivals smooth for families. Décines-Charpieu audiences will notice how the production leans into the strengths of our room: a stage that supports swift, storybook transformations; lighting that paints the mood without overwhelming; and sound that lets young ears catch every whisper and giggle. Thematically, the show celebrates imagination as a practical tool—an idea we champion by programming pieces that help children name feelings, face little fears, and laugh at the unexpected. Audiences can expect sequences of playful magic, a bit of slapstick, and moments of quiet focus where the witch learns to turn “mistakes” into inventions. Between performances, the company continues its season with appearances tailored to families and educators, and we are delighted to be the Lyon-area home for this chapter of their journey. If you are introducing a child to theater for the first time—or you simply want to share a lively afternoon together—our auditorium is ready to become a cauldron of curiosity, color, and contagious laughter.
