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

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

At THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON, we love when the stage becomes a playground for curiosity, laughter, and a pinch of mischief, and that is exactly what Une drôle de sorcière offers. Designed for families and young audiences without ever talking down to adults, the show transforms our intimate room into a whimsical corner of the forest, where cauldrons bubble, brooms misbehave, and spells have a habit of landing in unexpected ways. Our team has worked closely with the production to tailor lighting, sound, and sightlines to young eyes and ears, ensuring gentle surprises rather than jumpy frights and a rhythm that stays lively from start to finish. Expect physical comedy, playful audience interaction, and little sleights of hand that invite children to participate—by clapping a rhythm, finishing a rhyme, or helping the witch sort her colorful potions. For us, it’s a joy to welcome a piece that celebrates imagination and kindness while keeping the giggles coming, and to see our foyer fill with excited chatter before and after the performance.

Creative spotlight: what’s new from the artists

We are hosting Une drôle de sorcière at a particularly vibrant moment for the creative team. Their current season emphasizes accessible, high-quality family theatre, and they arrive in Lyon with a refreshed staging that tightens the comic timing and amplifies the visual magic. The performers lean into physical storytelling—spills, flips, and learned-not-earned magic tricks—that children instantly grasp, while parents catch witty asides about the perils of rushing, the value of patience, and the bravery it takes to try again. On our stage, the witch’s world is built from clever, hands-on stagecraft: painted books that whisper, a suitcase that seems to breathe, and musical cues that nudge the action forward like a friendly narrator. Our technical crew has supported these flourishes with warm, storybook lighting and discrete sound design, so the smallest gasp or giggle reads clearly across the room. Whether it’s your child’s first theatre experience or a family tradition, the show’s compact, high-energy format and clear narrative arc make it easy to follow and impossible to forget.

Beyond the performance itself, we are proud to highlight how the team behind Une drôle de sorcière continues to grow its artistic footprint. Between tour dates, they have been developing new workshop material that helps children discover how sound, shadow, and movement can tell a story—initiatives that align beautifully with our mission to foster creative confidence in young audiences. They also bring to Lyon a set of subtle updates—tiny prop inventions, a newly choreographed broom routine, and reworked transitions—that keep the production feeling alive and responsive to each room it visits. This attention to detail is exactly why we wanted to present the show in Décines-Charpieu: the artists understand how to make the theatre feel like a conversation with the audience, not just a presentation to them. As hosts, we have scheduled extra time around the performance so families can settle in, chat with our team, and soak up the atmosphere; and we’ve fine-tuned the logistics to accommodate strollers, early arrivals, and the excitement that comes with a first trip to the theatre. If you’re looking for a playful, big-hearted piece that champions curiosity and celebrates the happy accidents of learning, Une drôle de sorcière is ready to cast its charm on our stage at THEATRE A L'OUEST - LYON.
