Marine Leonardi - Mauvaise Graine - Tournée

Welcoming Marine Leonardi and the energy of Mauvaise Graine in Lyon

We are honored to open our Lyon stage to Marine Leonardi with Mauvaise Graine, a date that has been eagerly anticipated by audiences who follow her sharp, contemporary voice. From the moment tickets were announced, the excitement has been palpable: this production is more than a setlist of punchlines or a sequence of stories, it is a crafted encounter with an artist whose instinct for timing, intimacy, and social commentary gives every seat in the room a direct line to her world. On our stage, Mauvaise Graine unfolds with a balance of nerve and nuance: Leonardi shifts from quick-witted jabs to reflective passages that invite the audience to breathe with her, then bursts into the kind of disarming honesty that makes a live performance feel uniquely unrepeatable. Her writing moves at a modern pace—restless, curious, and fearless—yet it never loses the human grain that the title promises. Expect a performance built on clarity of voice, attentive staging, and that crucial electric thread between performer and audience that turns a show into an event you talk about all the way home through the Lyon night.

The artist’s momentum: presence, precision, and a growing community

Hosting Marine Leonardi at this moment means celebrating an artist in full momentum, whose audience has grown through word of mouth, packed rooms, and the virality of her on-stage presence. What makes her current run so compelling is the way Mauvaise Graine crystallizes years of observation into a living piece of theater: tight writing, a clear narrative arc, and a performer who knows exactly how to test the boundaries of comfort and complicity without losing the room for a second. On our Lyon date, you will feel the hum of that community—fans who discovered her on short-form clips, newcomers guided by recommendations from friends, and regular theatergoers hungry for a voice that can be both playful and piercing. Leonardi’s recent appearances across France have showcased her gift for building an entire evening from fragments of modern life: family stories told with tenderness and bite, the awkward poetry of young careers and tangled relationships, the rituals of online life and the quiet griefs we carry in public. It’s a portrait of a generation, but also a mirror anyone can recognize themselves in. Mauvaise Graine is where her live craft meets her current artistic heartbeat, and we are proud to provide the frame for it in Lyon.

Our team has shaped the evening to put Marine Leonardi’s strengths front and center: sound that respects the grain of her voice, lighting that shifts with the temperature of a bit, and a room layout that keeps her connection with the audience unobstructed from the front row to the balcony. She plays with rhythm—stretching a silence, leaning into a look, letting laughter swell and break—so the technical precision matters, and we have tailored it to hold each inflection. Expect moments of sly audience interaction, the thrill of laugh-waves moving across the room, and those quiet, luminous beats where her storytelling folds the crowd into a single listening body. In Lyon, Mauvaise Graine gains an extra dimension: the city’s appetite for culture, its flair for irony and warmth, and the particular way local audiences reward courage on stage. If you have followed Leonardi’s rise, this night will feel like a milestone; if you’re discovering her for the first time, it will feel like meeting a voice you didn’t know you were waiting for. Either way, we’re ready to dim the house, lift the first breath of anticipation, and let Marine Leonardi carry the room.
