Theaters Lyon 5th 69005

Le Petit Théâtre led by Janine Berdin still presents young, dynamic and entertaining shows for the pleasure of all audiences. As its name indicates, this Little Pocket Theatre is not very large, but its human size facilitates rapprochement with all the public, especially school students who can analyze the game of the actors under all the seams and almost under their noses! Traditionally, each representation is followed by an exchange between actors and public in a friendly relationship.

The Guignol de la rue Carrand could just as easily draw the curtain following the departure of the Zonzons company - remote by the municipality whose relationship with Guignol still seems problematic… - with whom Guignol and his entire troupe (we must know that the puppets belong to the city…) had spent so many years. Let's say it all go, it wasn't going to happen like that! We are Lyon and Guignol is part of the heritage. Fortunately, the MA company took over the torch (we hope it won't stop) and we could attend a representation of Guignol and the 40 seats, "pestacle" programmed until June. We will probably have to wait until the spring to learn more about the fate of this beautiful house dedicated to Guignol which, we hope, will continue to live without ever becoming a museum!

Punch always has a say, even when masked! We fell in love with this superb old-fashioned theatre in the heart of the Saint-Georges district, at the foot of the rugged Gourguillon hill and on the Place de la Trinité. Futé loves the good-natured atmosphere of the place, the café-theatre atmosphere, an integral part of Lyon's heritage, and of course the shows by Guignol from the classical repertoire or composed of creations. In addition, the Maison de Guignol offers excellent café-theatre shows in the evenings. Privatization possible.
