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 delight in hosting performances that turn everyday life into unforgettable theatre, and few titles promise that transformation as boldly as Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort. Our intimate room—close, warm, and tuned for laughter—puts the audience at the heart of the action, where comic timing and quicksilver repartee land with maximum impact. From the first minutes, the performers play with the space, inviting the front rows into conspiratorial glances and letting punchlines ripple to the back of the house. The show’s concept is simple and irresistible: a playful autopsy of modern coupledom, from household negotiations to romantic mythology, filtered through sharp writing, energetic staging, and a generous sense of mischief. At Le Rideau Rouge, that alchemy becomes even more electric; the red-draped stage frames the sparring with cabaret-like intimacy, while our crisp sound and snug sightlines ensure that throwaway asides and physical gags hit as hard as the big set pieces. For our Lyon audiences, this run is a chance to see a relationship comedy built for live performance, calibrated to the rhythms of laughter only a room like ours can sustain.

Fresh material, new rhythms, and a run tailored for Lyon

This season at Le Rideau Rouge, the creative team behind the show arrives with momentum and fresh pages, expanding the repertoire with newly minted bits that ring especially true in 2024–2025. Regulars will hear the buzz about recent additions—self-contained sketches such as "Le GPS émotionnel," "La théorie du panier à linge," and "Silence radio"—miniature comedies that toggle between playful bickering and sudden tenderness. In our venue, these pieces benefit from an elastic pace: the cast can glide from a quick-fire volley of one-liners into a moment of stillness where the audience leans in, then back out into full-throated laughter. We also love how this iteration sneaks topical winks into the script without ever losing the universal core of the show. New sequences like "Budget Love," "Mode avion sentimental," and "La soirée raclette de la vérité" broaden the canvas, while the running gag of a mock "tribunal du couple" gives the evening a spine that our audiences follow with gleeful anticipation. This is the sort of update we prize at Le Rideau Rouge—recognizably the same crowd-pleaser, but restlessly polished and sharpened for today.

On our stage, Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort unfolds as a lively collage of formats: stand-up bursts that feel confessional, sketch-comedy duels choreographed like farce, and physical comedy that makes even the smallest prop earn a laugh. The performers trade the microphone with practiced ease, slipping between point of view and parody—one moment a mock TED Talk about "Patch notes du couple 2.0," the next a breakneck mime set in a supermarket checkout line. Audience interaction is deftly woven in: a few brave volunteers become "expert witnesses," while the rest of the room votes—vocally—on the eternal debates, from dishwashers to duvet covers, dramatized in "Le débat Oreiller vs Couette" and "La boîte noire du salon." Our team at Le Rideau Rouge leans into this sense of participation, timing lighting cues to amplify those crescendos when the crowd becomes a character. The result is a shared experience that continues into the foyer after curtain, where spectators swap favorite lines from "Le mode d’emploi du couple" and "Le coaching d’arguments," already quoting the show as if it were their own inside joke. It’s spirited, clever, and remarkably warm—a perfect fit for our room and for Lyon’s appetite for live comedy that laughs with, not at, its audience.
