Marine Leonardi - Mauvaise Graine - Tournée

Mauvaise Graine Tournée arrives in Lyon

From our stage team’s point of view, welcoming Marine Leonardi with Mauvaise Graine is the kind of night we build a season around. The setup is intentionally lean: a precise sound mix that keeps every inflection alive, warm lights that draw the audience close, and an open stage that gives her room to pivot, pace, and pounce on an idea the second it sparks. That minimalism is not an absence but a promise—Mauvaise Graine puts the performer at the center, and we shape the space so her storytelling lands with clarity. Expect the mischievous frankness fans adore, the sudden switch from a whispered aside to a broad, physical flourish, and the ease of someone who writes in real time with the crowd’s energy. Bourse du Travail Lyon is the stop where this tour meets a city known for its lively, attentive audiences, and our technical crew is ready to let the room breathe with her rhythm while keeping every beat tight.

Marine Leonardi’s current momentum

Artistically, Marine Leonardi is in a charged, generous moment, and Mauvaise Graine captures that forward motion. The new hour digs into family myths, inherited labels, social codes that fray under pressure, and the stubborn thrill of growing in directions no one predicted. If you’ve followed her recent stage work, you’ll hear the signature turns that fans trade by name in the lobby—bits like “Bonne élève (en rechute),” “La Minute vocale,” “Plan de table,” “Les Gens parfaits,” and the late-show riff “Mode avion.” These aren’t spoilers so much as touchstones: in Mauvaise Graine they return in sharper focus, collide with fresh material, and find a more intimate shape. From our programming desk, what stands out is her elasticity with tension—letting a silence hum, stretching a look until the laugh becomes inevitable, then snapping it with an image so clean the reaction rolls from the front row to the balcony. It’s disciplined craft meeting fearless curiosity, and it’s exactly the kind of living, evolving comedy an audience wants to encounter in the room, not on a screen.

What to expect on the night is proximity and pulse. We keep the house in a warm half-light so Marine can read faces, lean into an unexpected detour, and riff with Lyon’s quick-witted crowd without losing momentum. Mauvaise Graine is a full-length set that toggles between razor-drawn observations and freewheeling crowd energy, stitched together with callbacks that reward attention and a final sequence that braids her themes into a rebellious, heartfelt statement true to the title. Our role is to make every seat feel close to the spark—crisp intelligibility, clean transitions, and a stage picture that supports spontaneity. From the first cue to the last applause, the evening is designed to feel immediate and unrepeatable. The advance buzz tells us audiences are arriving curious and leaving with lines on their lips; our team can feel that anticipation building as the date approaches, and everything behind the scenes is tuned to let Mauvaise Graine land with maximum bite and warmth.
