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

At Le Rideau Rouge, a playful battle of wits with Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort

At Le Rideau Rouge in Lyon, we are delighted to welcome a comedy built for the intimacy and quicksilver rhythm of our stage: Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort. Our room thrives on shows that bring audience and performers into close conversation, and this production is calibrated for exactly that—crisp pacing, clever mischief, and the kind of affectionate sparring that turns a night at the theatre into a shared wink. The theme is universal, yet the writing keeps it sparklingly current, inviting couples, friends, and solo spectators alike to compare notes on daily life, romantic misunderstandings, and the etiquette of modern relationships. From the first exchanges, the performers lean into the comic energy of the venue—its warm acoustics, its immediate sightlines, its proximity—so that punchlines land with both precision and surprise. Whether it is the playful decoding of texts and subtexts or the choreographed chaos of domestic negotiations, the evening uses our space as a partner in the joke, keeping the mood buoyant and the house laughing together.

Current momentum, fresh material, and a show shaped for Lyon

As a team committed to living, evolving comedy, we are proud to present an edition of Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort that reflects the artist’s ongoing momentum on the road: new observations folded into the script, sharper callbacks, and agile improvisations that respond to the room. The latest version foregrounds crisp, self-contained set pieces that our audience has loved: “The IKEA Test,” a brisk tour through the labyrinth of couple decision-making; “Calendar Diplomacy,” where schedules become the most delicate form of negotiation; and “Group Chat Tribunal,” a riotous look at how friends suddenly become judges and juries. These sketches are anchored by razor-edged dialogue and a physicality that plays beautifully in our theatre’s intimate frame, allowing micro-expressions, double takes, and throwaway asides to register deliciously. Onstage, the writing treats gender politics with a light touch—shifting from mock-epic confrontations to soft confessions—so that the night feels less like a lecture and more like a spirited round table, with the audience knowingly complicit in every reveal. What’s new artistically is the elasticity: topical nods, local touches, and a willingness to court the unexpected that keeps the show breathing and distinct at each performance.

For us at Le Rideau Rouge, the experience is as much about flow as it is about content. The scenic design is nimble, letting transitions snap like the jokes, and our technical team frames the material with clean lighting cues and a soundscape that supports without overwhelming. We’ve seen how well this format suits Lyon’s appetite for quick wit: the crowd responds eagerly to interactive moments, the artists volley back, and the stage becomes a friendly arena where contradictions can coexist—and be joyfully roasted. If you’re curious about how contemporary comedy negotiates intimacy and difference without losing its heart, this is a welcome case study: it celebrates the tiny rituals of everyday life, finds punchlines in emotional honesty, and leaves room for tenderness between the laughs. We curate our season to host shows that feel alive in the present—smart, generous, and nimble—and Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort arrives with precisely that spirit, ready to turn the timeless duel of perspectives into a night of bright laughter on our Lyon stage.
