At Le Rideau Rouge: a sharp, playful evening of modern couplehood

We are delighted to welcome Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort to the intimate stage of Le Rideau Rouge in Lyon, where proximity between artists and audience transforms clever writing into a living conversation. From our vantage point as hosts, we see this production as a perfect fit for our room: a brisk, crowd-pleasing comedy that dissects the daily negotiations of love, the delightful misunderstandings of cohabitation, and the contradictory truths that make relationships so compelling. The show’s rhythm is agile and generous, alternating between lightning-fast repartee and moments of tender observation, and our hall’s warm acoustics and sightlines ensure every raised eyebrow, whispered aside, and physical gag lands with precision. Whether you come as a couple ready to laugh at yourselves or with friends eager for a social mirror polished by wit, expect an evening that turns familiar scenes into sparkling theatre. Le Rideau Rouge is proud to provide a space where performers can take risks, improvise with the room, and let the Lyon audience shape the tempo of each performance.

Current momentum, fresh writing, and an audience-first staging

Arriving in Lyon on the crest of a strong touring momentum, the creative team behind Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort brings an updated version tailored for the energy of Le Rideau Rouge. In recent months, they have honed the piece with new punchlines and reframed scenes that speak to today’s conversations about equality at home, emotional workload, and the endless ballet of expectations that couples perform without noticing. The writing leans into a lively mix of theatrical sketch, slice‑of‑life micro-scenes, and quick character switches, allowing the performers to embody several points of view without losing the thread of a cohesive evening. What we admire as a venue is the show’s ability to stay playful while keeping its observations grounded in reality: arguments that pivot on a single word, a romantic plan derailed by logistics, the universal art of “being right” while still needing affection. To serve this pace, our team supports a minimalist set, crisp light cues, and musical stings that amplify comic beats without slowing the flow. The result is a staging that stays nimble and responsive to the audience, capturing the electricity we love in live performance.

From front row to back row, spectators at Le Rideau Rouge can expect an evening crafted with the audience at its center. The performers know how to read a Lyon crowd, teasing out complicity with a glance, opening the door to a touch of improvisation, then snapping back into tightly written dialogue. That tension—between spontaneity and structure—gives the show its buoyant feel. Scenes ricochet from first-date diplomacy to the paperwork of long-term love, from the comic politics of household chores to the delicate rituals of apologies, and our stage’s intimacy keeps each exchange refreshingly personal. Because the piece is built to travel, it wears the city lightly, letting local references slip in without ever relying on them, and allowing each audience to leave their imprint on the performance. We invite you to join us at Le Rideau Rouge for a night that is brisk without being rushed, mischievous without malice, and above all, generous in its invitation to laugh—even at the moments when you are certain you are right, or absolutely sure you are never wrong.
