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

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

At Le Rideau Rouge in Lyon, we are delighted to host Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort, a sharp, generous, and irresistibly playful exploration of modern relationships. Our theater’s intimate layout, warm sightlines, and close proximity between stage and audience are crafted for exactly this kind of highly responsive, laughter-rich evening. You will feel the room breathe with the performer(s): each glance, aside, and clever turn of phrase lands with the immediacy that only a venue like ours can provide. The show’s title sets the tone—cheeky, knowing, and inviting—and what unfolds on stage builds on that promise with wit and empathy. Expect rapid-fire observations, affectionate teasing of our habits, and a dramaturgy that pivots between punchy bits and slower moments where the humor reveals its tenderness. For us at Le Rideau Rouge, this is the kind of piece that thrives here: bright, conversational, and interactive enough to evolve with the audience, while remaining guided by a tightly designed structure and a strong scenic identity.

Artistic momentum and what to expect on stage

We present Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort at a moment when its creator’s artistic momentum is unmistakable. The show is built for today’s audiences—quick on the uptake, curious, eager for connection—and it blends stand-up flavors with theatricality and a touch of improvisation that keeps every performance unique. The writing balances the universality of couple life with highly specific, lived-in details: the miniature negotiations of daily routines, the comic misunderstandings of timing and tone, the tiny rituals that become battlegrounds or lifelines. At Le Rideau Rouge, the staging supports that intimate scale: a few evocative design gestures, fluid lighting cues, and a rhythm that invites the room to lean in. The artist’s recent seasons have refined this approach, honing transitions so that the laughter lands without ever feeling forced, and the perspective remains generous rather than doctrinaire. Whether you’re arriving as a duo, with friends, or solo, our team has shaped the evening so that the audience’s own stories naturally mirror what’s happening on stage—those knowing looks, the contagious chuckles that ripple through the rows, the surprise of recognition when a line feels like it was written about your kitchen table.

Because Le Rideau Rouge is an artist-first venue, we pay attention to the way a show breathes over the course of its run. Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort benefits from that care: the pacing is tight while leaving room for spontaneity, and every seat in our room offers a clean view of expressions and gestures that make the humor sing. You will hear the craft in the timing of callbacks, the subtle build of running gags, and the way the performance plays with silence as deftly as with bursts of laughter. We’re proud to provide a listening room where reaction isn’t just noise—it’s part of the performance language. In practical terms, plan to settle in a few minutes early; the pre-show atmosphere in our foyer is convivial, and stepping into the red velvet glow of the auditorium truly sets the mood. As the lights dim, the show opens a space where differences become conversation, where clichés are flipped with finesse, and where the joy of recognition reigns. This is exactly why we champion contemporary comedy-theater at Le Rideau Rouge: because it brings people together in the most human way possible—through laughter that feels both smart and deeply familiar.
