Lou Trotignon « Mérou »

Les Derniers Couchés presents Lou Trotignon at the Maison de la Culture Clermont-Ferrand on March 17, 2026. A comedian and writer, Lou starts from a concrete premise: they were assigned female at birth, and that box does not fit them. On stage, Lou recounts their transition with humor—directly and without pathos. The show addresses testosterone, a striptease as a turning point, and the discovery of a queer world where reference points shift and one learns to name the body, desire and intimacy differently. The performance moves through lived fragments, anecdotes and questions that challenge certainties: should we remain what we were told to be, how does one forge a new relationship to oneself, to love and to others’ gaze? Lou explores language, norms and possibilities, inviting the audience to imagine a place outside clichés. An evening to hear a personal story that opens common paths, between lucidity and self-deprecation, carried by the energy of a stand-up that owns its shadows and its flashes of clarity.
