Swann Périssé - Calme - Tournée

Swann Périssé presents Calme in Lyon

We are delighted to welcome Swann Périssé with her new creation, Calme, as part of the tournée making a highly anticipated stop at Bourse du Travail Lyon. From our stage, we see night after night how a performer’s energy transforms a room; Swann’s humor, timing, and razor-sharp observations are tailor-made for that electric exchange with a live audience. Calme invites spectators into a playful, candid exploration of everyday pressures, modern contradictions, and the art of finding serenity amid chaos. Expect a blend of storytelling, finely tuned punchlines, and irresistible stage presence—qualities that have earned her an enthusiastic following on digital platforms and in theaters across France. The show’s rhythm balances intimate confessions with bold, mischievous detours, and it’s in that contrast that Swann thrives: she captures the restless pulse of our times while keeping the room laughing and fully engaged. If you’re looking for a night of comedy that feels both personal and current, this date in Lyon will be a standout.

Her current creative moment

As her tournée unfolds, Swann is in a particularly prolific period, with fresh material built from her online sketches, collaborative projects, and the onstage discoveries that arise from city to city. She has been visible across social media with new comedic capsules that tackle themes like digital overstimulation, relationships, identity, and the subtle absurdities of daily life—material that feeds directly into the living, breathing organism that is Calme. In recent months, she has also multiplied appearances in comedy lineups and media conversations, extending her comedic language beyond short-form formats to longer, more textured narratives. Fans who follow her work will recognize how she pivots effortlessly from sharp irony to tender self-deprecation, and from character-driven bits to spontaneous play with the audience. This is an artist who treats touring as a creative laboratory: every stop refines the pacing, deepens the jokes, and tests new angles. Bringing Calme to Lyon offers a snapshot of that evolution in real time, where seasoned followers and first-time spectators meet at the same spark of discovery.

From our vantage point, Calme is built to bloom in front of a Lyon crowd: it relishes the unique chemistry of the room, heightens the laughter with precise callbacks, and punctuates the evening with moments that feel exclusive to this city and date. Swann’s comedic toolkit is broad—observational riffs, character sketches, and instinctive callbacks—and she wields it with a lightness that never loses sight of rhythm. The tournée framing gives the show momentum; each performance gathers stories, micro-improvisations, and audience reactions that subtly reconfigure the beat of the next one. That’s why we’re excited to host this stop: it’s a chance to see a comedian at the heart of her craft, turning the intimate anxieties of a fast-moving era into a shared, cathartic laugh. Whether you’ve discovered her through her viral videos or you’ve been following her theater work for years, this evening promises a spirited, contemporary voice in full flight—Calme as the cheeky title, and the spark that proves laughter can be its own kind of composure, right here in Lyon.
