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

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

At Le Rideau Rouge, we are delighted to host the hit relationship comedy Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort, a playful and razor-sharp look at the eternal choreography between her truths and his certainties. In our intimate Lyon setting, this show’s quickfire rhythm, audience proximity, and cheeky improvisations land with irresistible energy. You’ll recognize the hallmarks of café-théâtre: punchy dialogues, situations that escalate with delicious bad faith, and a cascade of everyday misadventures that feel both personal and universal. The staging makes every seat feel close to the action, amplifying the timing of each quip and rebuttal; the result is a lively evening where the performers surf from one marital détente to the next dispute, then back to complicity, in sketch-like scenes that mirror real life. Our audience knows the pleasure of hearing a whole room laugh at the same moment of recognition; this production leans into that collective spark, balancing tenderness with audacity as it explores modern love, misunderstandings, and the fine art of making up after the storm.

Artists in the spotlight: fresh momentum, new laughs

This Lyon run sits within the dynamic momentum of the creative team behind several recent crowd-pleasers on the French comedy circuit, including Libérée Divorcée, Faites l’amour, pas des gosses, and Amants à mi-temps. That same appetite for relatable, fast-paced writing fuels Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort, which unspools like a greatest hits of couple life: think a meeting of minds (and egos) where “La to-do list du couple,” “Le dîner chez les beaux-parents,” and “Le mode d’emploi des disputes” become miniature social laboratories. The style is openly theatrical yet rooted in stand-up instincts, with performers shifting gears between satire and affection. Their recent tours have honed a playful engagement with the room—expect call-backs, winks, and skilful crowd-reading that keep the tempo high. For our stage, that agility is a perfect fit: the show breathes with the audience, letting laughter stretch and snap back into crisp dialogue. Beyond this title, the team continues to populate the season with punchy creations, demonstrating a knack for turning the small negotiations of daily life into set pieces that travel effortlessly from sketch format to fully fledged scenes. It’s a living repertoire, refreshed on the road and sharpened by encounters with audiences across France, and we’re proud to showcase it here.

What awaits you at Le Rideau Rouge is a finely tuned evening that prizes rhythm and complicity. The writing alternates between affectionate portraits and merciless punchlines, with stand-out moments like “La charge mentale en réunion” and “Le GPS émotionnel” that turn familiar expressions into theatrical payoffs. Our room’s acoustics carry each aside and sotto voce jab; when the duo spirals into verbal ping-pong—who said what, who forgot what, and who is absolutely, positively right—every beat lands. We recommend arriving a little early to settle in and soak up the warm atmosphere that regulars love: a cozy, red-curtain frame, a stage close enough to catch every eyebrow raise, and a Lyon audience renowned for sharp listening and generous laughter. Whether you come as a couple, with friends, or solo, this is the kind of comedy that sends you home with shared lines to quote and disagreements to laugh about. The performers glide from one tableau to the next—first-date illusions, wardrobe diplomacy, smartphone ceasefires—checking off the great themes of contemporary cohabitation with a smile. It’s vibrant, precise, and joyously human, and on our stage it blossoms with the immediacy that only live performance can offer.
