Les Femmes Ont Toujours Raison, Les Hommes N'ont Jamais Tort ! - Le Rideau Rouge (lyon)

Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort at Le Rideau Rouge

At Le Rideau Rouge, we love evenings that turn the entire audience into a single, buzzing accomplice—and that is exactly what happens when Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort takes over our stage. From our vantage point in the wings, we watch couples, friends, and colleagues lean toward each other at the very first lines, already recognizing themselves in the brisk, witty exchanges. The show thrives on the tiny negotiations of everyday life—chores, affection, timing, misunderstandings—and turns them into crisp, theatrical set pieces that ping back and forth with infectious rhythm. The performers move with a delightful sense of timing, weaving physical comedy with sharp dialogue, and folding in sly nods to contemporary life: phones on the table, calendars in conflict, group chats misread. Our intimate room amplifies every reaction; a raised eyebrow lands as clearly as a punchline. It is a joyous, generous production that plays the so-called “battle of the sexes” not as a confrontation, but as a celebratory decoding session—warm-hearted, modern, and deliciously observant—perfectly at home in the convivial atmosphere of Le Rideau Rouge.

Current creative momentum and what’s new on stage

Beyond its lively reputation, the production arrives at Le Rideau Rouge at a moment of real creative momentum. The team has been touring widely, honing transitions, tightening exchanges, and sneaking in topical updates that mirror the conversations we hear every day in the foyer: mental load and fairness at home, the economics of romance, eco-conscious living, parenthood negotiations, and the etiquette of digital life. Scenes have been refreshed to leave room for spontaneous riffs with the public, and from backstage we can feel how much the performers relish that electricity. The writing makes space for both halves of the duo to shine—one moment sparring with language, the next turning to mime or a visual gag—and the audience rides each modulation with audible delight. Recent workshop sharings and preview sets have sharpened callbacks and running jokes, so threads planted early bloom in unexpectedly satisfying ways by the end. Our role as hosts is to preserve that crispness: sound tuned to every glance and whisper, lights that shift just enough to underline the emotional beat, and a front-of-house team primed to keep the flow smooth from first arrival to final applause at Le Rideau Rouge.

From the venue’s perspective, this show is a masterclass in how smart popular theater can be: brisk, human, and meticulously engineered to feel spontaneous. Audiences at Le Rideau Rouge can expect an ever-evolving conversation with the performers—an affectionate roast of our reflexes in love and friendship. The staging favors clarity and agility; changes are fast, transitions are playful, and the chemistry never lets up. It is accessible to all—long-term couples nodding in recognition, new romances taking notes, groups of friends laughing at the ongoing negotiation that is daily life. We see the effect in the lobby afterward: people quoting lines, testing the arguments they’ve just witnessed, and leaving with that particular glow that follows a shared, cathartic laugh. Our team has emphasized comfort and proximity so that every seat feels plugged into the action, from the opening exchange to the final wink. If you’ve been waiting for the perfect night out to rediscover how theater and comedy renew our perspective on ordinary life, Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort is the vibrant, generous invitation we are proud to host at Le Rideau Rouge.
