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

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

At Le Rideau Rouge, we are delighted to host Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort, a lively, quick-witted comedy that plays with the timeless tug-of-war between perspectives. From our vantage point inside this intimate Lyon venue, the show’s rhythm and proximity are its greatest assets: the performers lean into the room’s closeness, trading razor-sharp lines and playful asides that make every seat feel like the best in the house. The staging is nimble, the transitions brisk, and the comic engine runs on precise timing, so the audience can move from knowing smiles to bursts of laughter within a single breath. True to our programming ethos, the piece blends popular appeal with a crafted theatrical touch, favoring character-driven exchanges over easy punchlines and drawing energy from the audience’s reactions. Whether you come as a couple, with friends, or solo, you will recognize everyday negotiations—those small rituals of love, pride, and misunderstanding—magnified with theatrical flair. Our technical team has tuned the light and sound design to enhance that conversational tempo, the better to let the performers riff, rebound, and reframe the battle of ideas that animates the play.

On-stage craft and current artistic momentum

From the wings at Le Rideau Rouge, you can feel how much the creative team cares about language, beats, and structure. The piece advances in nuanced sequences—flirtation and friction, domestic logistics and late-night confessions—so that laughter arises naturally from recognition. The performers switch registers with ease: a raised eyebrow becomes a running gag, a throwaway word returns later as a callback, and a simple prop unexpectedly anchors a whole argument. This dramaturgical economy is part of the production’s signature, and it aligns beautifully with our room’s scale, where silences count as much as punchlines. Beyond the stage, the artists behind Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort are in a dynamic period of creation and encounter, keeping their show in conversation with audiences across the country while continuing to polish pacing, enrich character stakes, and sharpen wording. That momentum is palpable here: you can hear it in the way a line lands and then evolves with each performance, or in the spontaneous exchanges that sprout when the crowd leans in. The humor is generous and inclusive, avoiding stereotypes in favor of the lived-in truth of couple life—who chooses the restaurant, who forgets the appointment, who apologizes first—and the cumulative effect is a shared relief: we have all been there, and we can laugh about it together.

Le Rideau Rouge has long championed comedy that respects the audience’s intelligence while offering the joy of a communal laugh, and this production embodies that spirit. The performers’ craft is evident in their attention to rhythm—letting a pause breathe, returning to an earlier disagreement for a delightful twist, trusting that the room will follow a playful swerve and reward it with applause. Our team supports this precision with warm, focused lighting and an acoustic presence that captures both the sparkle of the repartee and the quiet beats that make those sparks fly. For Lyon spectators, the result is a night that feels tailor-made: familiar yet surprising, brisk yet heartfelt. Practicalities are simple—arrive early to settle in and feel the buzz of the room, then let the performance carry you through an artfully choreographed tour of misunderstandings, reconciliations, and the small victories that make relationships feel both exasperating and wonderful. Above all, Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort is a conversation—about attention, respect, and the humor we find when we drop our defenses—staged where conversation is our favorite art form: right here, on the boards of Le Rideau Rouge.
