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

At Le Rideau Rouge in Lyon

At Le Rideau Rouge, we are delighted to welcome Jamais le deuxième soir to our intimate stage in Lyon, a setting purpose-built for quick-fire dialogue, playful audience complicity, and the kind of comic timing that lands best at close range. From the moment the lights dim, the production leans into our room’s warm acoustics and direct sightlines to draw you into its mischievous premise: the unwritten rules of modern romance, the expectations we project, and the improbable logic we use to save face when hearts start to race. The show’s brisk tempo and razor-edged repartee make our venue feel like a conspirator—every gasp, laugh, and knowing glance ricochets with infectious precision. The actors exploit our stage’s versatility with nimble transitions, letting a single prop or gesture ignite a chain of comedic reversals. Whether you’re a couple on date night or a group of friends ready to compare notes, you’ll find that the energy in the room becomes part of the story, turning each performance into an event that lives and breathes with its audience.

Current artistic momentum

Jamais le deuxième soir arrives at Le Rideau Rouge at a moment of genuine artistic momentum for its team. The production’s continued life on tour has sharpened its feel for contemporary dating rituals, streamlining the writing and heightening the rhythms so that each punchline lands with new clarity. On our stage, that momentum is palpable: the cast leans into the spark of live performance, adjusting the comic lens from sly irony to full-throttle farce in a heartbeat, and letting the audience’s reactions shape the micro-pauses and callbacks that give the evening its irresistible pulse. This season has also seen the artists deepen their collaborative process in rehearsal, refining transitions and physical comedy so that the piece moves with cinematic ease while remaining gloriously theatrical. The result is a version that feels both familiar and freshly minted—true to the show’s signature tone, yet alive to the times and to the particular character of Lyon’s spectators. If you have followed their journey from theater to theater, you will recognize the craft; if you are discovering it here for the first time, you will feel the thrill of a seasoned company meeting a room that amplifies their strengths.

For us at Le Rideau Rouge, hosting Jamais le deuxième soir is also about curating the audience experience from foyer to curtain call. Our team loves the lively chatter that builds before showtime, the burst of laughter that ripples from the front rows to the back, and the way our cabaret-inspired setting encourages guests to settle in and savor every twist. The staging is tailored to our dimensions, with playful blocking that opens the action to every seat and an attention to sound that ensures even the most conspiratorial aside carries. We’ve designed every detail to support the performers’ split-second timing—clean lighting cues, crisp transitions, and a warm, enveloping atmosphere that keeps the focus where it belongs: on the crackling chemistry between actors and audience. Come ready to lean forward, to be surprised by how closely the mishaps and near-misses mirror the stories you and your friends tell, and to witness how an expert comic engine purrs to life when it meets a venue dedicated to comedy at its most immediate.
