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 delight in presenting performances that resonate with the everyday lives of our audience, and Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort fits perfectly into that mission. In our intimate room, where every reaction ripples back to the stage, this sparkling comedy about the dance between women and men plays out with irresistible rhythm and an eye for the tiny details that make couples tick. The show’s writing toggles between razor-sharp dialogue and physical humor, allowing each scene to build toward the next with quicksilver timing. From the vantage point of our technical booth, we’ve fine-tuned lighting and sound to accent the punchlines and hush the room in just the right moments, giving the performers a springboard for spontaneous asides and playful interaction with the crowd. The result is an evening that feels tailor-made for Le Rideau Rouge: close, lively, and joyfully unfiltered, where contemporary relationships are explored with warmth, wit, and a willingness to laugh at ourselves.

Artistic momentum: new material, fresh energy, and a living conversation with the public

Beyond the performance you’ll see on our stage, the creative momentum behind this show is unmistakable. The artist continues to refine the material from week to week, bringing in new observations drawn from everyday life—small domestic negotiations, the etiquette of messaging, the art of apologies, and the trials of juggling work and romance. As a venue, we sense that evolution in rehearsal: scenes are tightened, transitions gain snap, and audience participation finds fresh twists. In recent months, the company has introduced playful set-pieces that audiences at Le Rideau Rouge have embraced with laughter and knowing nods, including “La to-do list du dimanche,” where household chores morph into a comic chess match; “Mode avion,” a look at how silence on a smartphone can speak volumes; and “Le dîner d’anniversaire,” in which a celebratory meal becomes a laboratory for the delicate experiments of couplehood. These new sketches nestle seamlessly among the show’s signature moments, giving returning spectators something new to enjoy while preserving the quickfire pace that made the title a word-of-mouth success.

Hosting Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort allows us to do what Le Rideau Rouge does best: foster a direct, living conversation between stage and audience. Our room’s cozy proportions amplify the nuance in the performances—the raised eyebrow, the shared glance after a punchline—and sharpen the timing of rebuttals in those spirited “he said, she said” exchanges that power the evening. The staging is uncluttered, leaving space for the actors to drift from observational stand-up into short, vivid scenes and back again, with musical stings and light cues punctuating arguments, reconciliations, and all the comic interzones in between. As the show continues to tour and evolve, we are proud to be a home base in Lyon where the latest versions of these sequences can be tested, tuned, and applauded. Expect an audience ready to chime in with recognition; expect callbacks that braid the night together; expect that delectable feeling of watching a work that is both polished and alive. At Le Rideau Rouge, we welcome you to take your seat, lean into the laughter, and witness how this hit turns the everyday friction of love into a bright, generous spark.
