Vagabundus - Le Radiant - Caluire

Vagabundus at Radiant-Bellevue

Radiant-Bellevue is delighted to welcome Vagabundus to our stage in Caluire-et-Cuire, just moments from Lyon, for an evening that embraces movement, music, and imagery with uncommon poetic force. From our vantage point as a house dedicated to live performance, we are struck by how this production reframes the idea of journey: not only the geographic passage of wanderers, but the inner drift of memories, hopes, and identities that accompany them. Vagabundus unfolds as a living tapestry—physical theatre, live sound, and visual storytelling stitched together with precision—designed to be felt as much as seen. Our auditorium’s clear sightlines and warm acoustics are an ideal canvas for the show’s immersive soundscape and sculptural lighting, allowing every whisper of texture and every surge of energy to reach the farthest seat. Expect a staging that draws the audience close, turning the Radiant-Bellevue into a shared space of encounter and discovery.

Artistic momentum and stagecraft

As we prepare the hall, we are equally attentive to the artistic momentum surrounding Vagabundus. The creative team has been refining the production in recent months, deepening the dramaturgy and expanding the musical palette to heighten the sense of a world in motion. What we see in rehearsal materials and technical specifications is a living work: choreography honed for clarity, live instrumentation calibrated to breathe with the performers, and a visual language that moves from intimate portraits to sweeping, dreamlike sequences. Our technical crew is configuring a responsive light grid and sound design that can frame the show’s quietest gestures as eloquently as its full-ensemble surges. This dialogue between craft and emotion is central to Vagabundus, and it resonates with Radiant-Bellevue’s commitment to hosting pieces that engage heart and mind in equal measure. The result promises an experience where each scene opens like a new horizon, yet remains anchored by human presence.

On the night, audiences can expect an arc that unfolds with cinematic pacing: the hush of a prologue, the gradual gathering of stories, and crescendos that carry the room before yielding to silences that hum with meaning. The performers’ physical vocabulary—elastic, precise, and richly musical—meets an evocative score that leans into strings, voice, and percussive textures to suggest footsteps, landscapes, and distance. Without overstatement, the production invites us to listen for the small details—hands brushing fabric, breath before movement, a single lantern brightening the dark—that make the vast themes of travel, belonging, and resilience feel immediate. At Radiant-Bellevue, we have shaped the stage to support these transitions fluidly, ensuring seamless changes of atmosphere and perspective. Whether you come for the storytelling, the choreography, or the immersive design, Vagabundus offers a rare unity of elements, the kind of ensemble artistry that turns a theater into a meeting place for imaginations.
