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

From our stage at Le Rideau Rouge, we are delighted to welcome the sparkling, quick-witted panorama of modern couple life that is Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n’ont jamais tort. In our intimate Lyon setting, the production’s rhythm, audience interplay, and candid humor land with a precision that rewards closeness: you hear the whispers, the asides, the perfectly timed punchlines, and you feel that joyful ripple moving through the room. We value shows that blend sharp writing with warmth, and this one thrives on both. The performers put everyday contradictions under a comic microscope—how we love, argue, multitask, renegotiate roles at home, and miscommunicate despite the best intentions—then turn them into moments of recognition and laughter. As a venue that champions live performance, we’ve seen how thoughtfully the piece uses scenic economy to keep the focus on acting, timing, and the audience’s laughter. The result is a lively, convivial evening that leaves our spectators exchanging knowing smiles in the foyer.

An artist in full momentum, a show that breathes the present

Programming Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n’ont jamais tort at Le Rideau Rouge also means welcoming an artist currently enjoying strong momentum. The material feels freshly minted, honed by tour dates and shaped to respond to the way we live now—phones on the table, work-stress at the door, affection squeezed between notifications and never-ending to-do lists. That currency is precisely what animates our stage here in Lyon: a show that listens to the times and playfully answers back. The writing mixes observational comedy with vivid slice-of-life scenes, giving the performers plenty of room to pivot between mischievous banter and moments that touch on tenderness. Audiences here relish the interplay—the sly winks to daily domestic choreography, the mock-pleadings of good faith, the acrobatic logic that keeps relationships afloat. As programmers, we especially appreciate how the piece balances universal themes with a sense of specificity: it’s about us, but it’s also this couple in front of us, these two voices colliding and harmonizing. That craft sustains laughter through the entire evening.

In Lyon, Le Rideau Rouge is built for this kind of meeting between artist and audience: the compact stage brings the performers close enough to catch every eyebrow raise and conspiratorial grin, so the humor remains tactile, alive, and shared. We’ve watched the show gather word-of-mouth enthusiasm thanks to its playful argumentation and generous pacing—never rushed, never indulgent, always attentive to the room’s breathing. The staging trusts the text and the performers; the sound and light cues are as discreet as they are effective, lifting a line here, tightening a beat there, without ever overshadowing the human core. Above all, this production captures something essential about contemporary relationships—the impossible rules we set for one another, the good intentions that go comic-ally sideways, the enduring tenderness beneath the sparring. That mix fits the spirit of our venue perfectly: a place where frank laughter and shared recognition are part of the same experience. With Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n’ont jamais tort, we’re proud to offer Lyon audiences an evening that feels both hilariously precise and warmly inclusive, a portrait of couplehood that remains joyous even as it tells the truth.
