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 are delighted to host the sparkling stage comedy Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort, a vibrant, fast-paced portrait of modern couples that feels tailor-made for our intimate room. From the moment the lights come up, the production leans into the chemistry of its performers and the agility of its writing: witty ripostes volley across the stage, misunderstandings cascade into laugh-out-loud set pieces, and the everyday battles of love are transformed into theatrical fireworks. Our audience knows this terrain—text messages that derail dinner, chore lists that trigger diplomacy, and the great, eternal question of who is right (and who is only pretending to be). The show thrives on the closeness that our venue offers: you catch the conspiratorial glances, the playful improvisations, and the split-second shifts of tone that turn a domestic squabble into comic ballet. It is the sort of evening where couples nudge each other, friends exchange knowing looks, and strangers become a shared chorus of laughter.

Artistic momentum and what’s new on stage

The creative team behind Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort arrives with genuine momentum, refining timing, polishing punchlines, and weaving in topical nods that speak to the present moment without losing the show’s universal heart. The staging has been thoughtfully refreshed for this engagement at Le Rideau Rouge: brisk transitions keep the narrative humming, and a crisp sound design underscores the rhythm of arguments, reconciliations, and the occasional silent treatment that says more than words ever could. The writing sprints through contemporary touchpoints—work-from-home boundaries, the mental load, blended families, and the algorithmic mysteries of our phones—while still celebrating the timeless pleasures of reconciliation and the comedy of compromise. As a venue, we see nightly how audiences respond to this balance of modern references and classic farce mechanics; the laughter lands because the details ring true, and the tenderness registers because the characters are recognizably, irresistibly human. For this season’s run, the company underscores spontaneity: moments of audience interaction, a few well-aimed asides, and the confident control of performers who can surf the room’s energy without losing the shape of the story.

Presenting the show at Le Rideau Rouge allows us to lean into our strengths: a warm, close-proximity space designed to let actors and audience breathe the same comic oxygen. Our technical team has collaborated closely with the production to sculpt a clean, modular set that flips from living room détente to kitchen-table summit in seconds, aided by tight lighting cues and agile prop choreography. You will see visual gags land with precision, from the smallest eyebrow raise to the triumphant, wordless victory lap of someone who finally located the missing keys. We also love how this piece invites pre- and post-show conversation at our bar; spectators compare their favorite moments, recount similar skirmishes from their own lives, and debate the eternal themes of the title with a smile. Whether you come with a partner ready to keep score, a group of friends eager for a lively night out, or on your own to soak up a room full of laughter, the experience here is unfiltered and immediate. Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort is a crowd-pleaser not because it flatters one side, but because it reveals both with affection—and in our hall, every confession, feint, and clincher lands right where it should.
