With Prélude, Lola Dubini makes her theatrical return with a fresh live show blending comedy and original songs. After a warm-up tour scheduled for late 2025, the artist is now setting up shop in Paris at La Nouvelle Seine, where performances have been running every Thursday since January 15. This new project marks an important milestone in her stage journey, bridging the worlds of stand-up and musical comedy.
The starting point of Prélude is a late realization: before hitting 30, life often feels like a rehearsal. The story revolves around a burnout, depicted as a pivotal break where "the teapot overflows." From this experience, the stage transforms into a space for rebuilding, blending personal confessions with moments of detachment.
The stage production combines spoken word and songs, creating a dynamic rhythm that both energizes the show and deepens the themes explored. The sung lyrics reflect the vulnerabilities discussed and turn personal questions into expressive musical moments. Overall, the piece is crafted in an accessible style, blending storytelling, self-deprecating humor, and musical passages seamlessly.
Solo on stage, Lola Dubini delivers both her performance and her original songs in Prélude. The show tackles mental health and adult life through a lens of humor, blending personal stories with shared experiences. Burnout is depicted not just as a challenge, but as a potential rite of passage—a step toward a clearer, more honest self-reconstruction.
In its Parisian run, Prélude continues the tradition of hybrid shows that blend comedy and live music. The production builds on the artist’s established stage work, known for combining song and comedy, and fits perfectly within the lineup at La Nouvelle Seine, a venue dedicated to contemporary writing.
The show is a must-see at La Nouvelle Seine in Paris, running every Thursday through March 26, 2026.
