Sarah Schwab - Du Rêve à La Réalité, Tournée

At Bourse du Travail Lyon, we are pleased to welcome Sarah Schwab with her tour Du rêve à la réalité, an evening dedicated to the voice, the craft, and the living pulse of contemporary pop reimagined for the stage. As a performer who first captivated audiences online with powerful interpretations and then expanded her reach in concert halls, Sarah brings a signature blend of precision and spontaneity. In recent months, she has continued to share fresh adaptations of chart-topping songs that resonate widely—audience favorites like “Espresso,” “Please Please Please,” “Fortnight,” “Flowers,” “Greedy,” “Dance The Night,” and “Lose Control” have showcased the expressive range and narrative sense that define her artistry. The concert in Lyon amplifies that momentum: a curated, story-driven set where familiar melodies are reshaped with new harmonies, bilingual nuance, and an attention to dynamics that moves from an intimate whisper to a full-blooded chorus. For us, hosting Du rêve à la réalité means preparing a space for that kind of finely tuned musical storytelling to breathe—an encounter between a devoted community and an artist who has refined her path from studio sessions and viral clips to a full-bodied, theatrical experience.

Du rêve à la réalité on stage

Du rêve à la réalité is conceived as a passage: the private spark of a song becoming a collective moment under stage lights. Our team has seen the show’s core idea translated into a live architecture that lets Sarah’s voice lead, with arrangements that favor clarity, groove, and room for surprise. Expect carefully sculpted transitions that thread iconic refrains into new contexts—medleys that weave rhythmic hooks with piano-led confessions, and acoustic detours that spotlight tone and text. The setlist’s spine is a conversation between recent pop landmarks and personal milestones from Sarah’s journey, with fresh reworks of “Espresso,” “Please Please Please,” and “Fortnight” sitting naturally alongside the reflective colors she brings to “Flowers” and the rhythmic charge of “Greedy” or “Dance The Night.” What separates this tour from a studio playlist is the dramaturgy: stories of how songs travel from a draft to a rehearsal to a stage; the way an audience request can tilt an arrangement mid-flight; the way a single sustained note can quiet a room. Du rêve à la réalité preserves the immediacy that first drew listeners to Sarah online while giving each number a cinematic scale—lights that breathe with tempo shifts, harmonies that bloom in the room, and a band that locks into the pocket with unfussy confidence.

What awaits in Lyon

In Lyon, our focus is to honor the dynamics that make Sarah Schwab’s concerts feel both refined and spontaneous. We prepare the stage for swift pivots—from piano-and-voice intimacy to percussion-forward energy—so that the arc of Du rêve à la réalité can unfold without friction. The evening highlights Sarah’s rapport with her audience, giving space to those moments when a familiar chorus becomes a call-and-response and when a delicate verse invites the room to lean in. Listeners who have followed her recent releases will recognize the emotional immediacy of “Lose Control,” the neon shimmer she threads through “Dance The Night,” and the wide-screen melodic lift of “Espresso” and “Please Please Please,” while newcomers will discover how her interpretations carry their own identity—phrasing that reframes a lyric, harmonies that shift a hook into a fresh register, a cadence that subtly changes the groove. Our stage design supports that journey with crisp, transparent sound, lighting cues that track each song’s narrative, and transitions timed to keep momentum alive. For one night, Du rêve à la réalité invites Lyon to experience a living studio session elevated into theater: a singer at full stretch, a band tuned to her instincts, and an audience shaping the final measure with their presence at Bourse du Travail Lyon.
