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

Le Rideau Rouge presents a razor-sharp celebration of coupledom

At Le Rideau Rouge in Lyon, we are thrilled to welcome the sparkling comedy Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort, a title that has been filling our room with laughter long before the lights even dim. From our vantage point in the wings, what makes this production special is its finely tuned mix of affectionate mischief and pinpoint observation: the performers volley lines with the quicksilver rhythm of a jazz duo, turning everyday situations into comic arias. Set against the intimate red-velvet glow of our stage, the show dives into the rituals and relapses of modern relationships—remote work and romance, the tyranny of WhatsApp groups, the great thermostat war—while keeping the tone warm, inclusive, and irresistibly playful. Our audience in Lyon loves that feeling of recognition when a line lands just right; you can sense couples nudging each other during a bit about shared passwords or the long, strategic negotiation of Sunday lunch with the in‑laws. In our room, timing is everything, and this team’s timing is impeccable.

Artistic momentum: new material, fresh angles, and a buzzing tour

From our box office to the tech booth, we’ve watched this creative team refine the show with brand‑new material that captures the present moment. The latest set features lively pieces like La Thérapie de couple 2.0, Le Wi‑Fi du salon, La Liste de courses stratégique, and Le Dîner de Belle‑Maman, sketches that have become instant crowd favorites here in Lyon. Between tour stops, the artists have been testing crisp, shorter bits on digital platforms—capsules such as C’est pas moi, c’est Google, Visio avec Belle‑Maman, and Le Télétravail en pantoufles—before weaving the strongest ideas back into the live version you’ll see at Le Rideau Rouge. That constant back‑and‑forth between stage and screen keeps the show vivid and current: the jokes are never museum pieces, they’re living things that adjust to how we date, argue, parent, scroll, and make up today. The company’s artistic news reflects that dynamism—extra dates added, a tightened staging for Lyon, and a renewed emphasis on the musicality of dialogue and physical comedy. From the front row you’ll catch the conspiratorial asides; from the balcony you’ll appreciate the crisp visual gags; either way, the effect is the same: laughter rolling in gratifying waves.

Hosting Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort at Le Rideau Rouge also means embracing the kind of craftsmanship we love: a bright, nimble script, expressive performances, and a staging that uses every corner of our room. Our technicians have shaped the sound to spotlight the verbal sparring without losing the quiet beats—those split seconds when a look says more than a paragraph—and the lighting enhances the game of cat‑and‑mouse between the characters, switching from conspiratorial warmth to playful showdown in a snap. As the tour continues to buzz, we see audiences arriving early to settle in, rehash their own “case files,” and compare notes after the curtain call. That’s our favorite part: the conversations that spill into the foyer, where couples replay the arguments that made them laugh the most—Qui a éteint la lumière ?, Le GPS du couple, and SMS à minuit are often cited—before planning their next visit. If you love comedy that recognizes the complexity of love without ever losing its joy, you’ll feel right at home in our theater. And if you come with a partner, prepare to exchange “That’s so you” glances all night—our regulars swear it’s half the fun at Le Rideau Rouge.
