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

At Le Rideau Rouge, a sharp new take on the battle of the sexes

At Le Rideau Rouge in Lyon, we are thrilled to welcome the sparkling theatrical comedy Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n’ont jamais tort, a crowd-pleaser whose title alone sets the tone for a jubilant evening of wit, tempo, and real-life misadventures. On our intimate stage, the piece unfolds with the brisk timing and close-up energy that our venue is known for: quick changes, sizzling punchlines, and a playful complicity with the audience, who become willing accomplices in this guided tour of modern couplehood. Expect snapshots from the first text message to the first shared apartment, from holiday packing lists to the unending debate about who left the lights on. The production leans into the universal—love, pride, misunderstandings, and reconciliations—while keeping the humor contemporary and accessible to every seat in the house. In Lyon, where audiences love fast-paced banter and precision acting, the show’s blend of observational comedy and theatrical finesse lands with particular éclat, magnified by the warm acoustics, velvet-red atmosphere, and razor-sharp sightlines of Le Rideau Rouge.

Current artistic buzz and what’s new on stage

What excites us this season is how alive and up-to-the-minute the material feels. The text has been freshly polished to mirror today’s conversations—dating apps, the mental load, remote work, eco-gestures at home—and the result is a rhythm that never lets up. New moments such as Le premier rencard sur appli, La charge mentale au quotidien, and Le débrief du dimanche soir slot in seamlessly alongside audience favorites like Qui a touché au thermostat? and Le mot de passe du Wi‑Fi. The performance style nods to the quick-fire ethos loved by fans of Jamel Comedy Club and Montreux Comedy, but stays resolutely theatrical: characters are drawn with warmth, reversals arrive on a dime, and scene transitions snap with musical precision. At Le Rideau Rouge, we’ve tailored lights and cues to accent those split-second changes of point of view—the “he said / she said” dynamic that keeps laughter rolling from the stalls to the balcony. It’s a show that relishes contradiction: clichés are embraced then subverted, grievances are aired then lovingly debunked, and every domestic battlefield becomes a playground for empathy.

Hosting Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n’ont jamais tort gives us the chance to highlight the textures that make a live experience unforgettable. You’ll catch the sly micro-gestures, the raised eyebrows, the conspiratorial glances that don’t always reach a camera lens. Our room lets the performers stretch into the beats of sketches like La to‑do list qui déborde, Le dîner chez les beaux‑parents 2.0, and Mission courses express, letting the laughter crest and settle before the next surprise. The direction favors direct contact—expect gentle audience interaction and irresistible call-backs—while our technical team sculpts a crisp, conversational sound so every aside lands. It’s a joy to see Lyon’s public recognize themselves in the foibles onstage: the tug-of-war over the GPS, the politics of the laundry basket, the epic of assembling flat-pack furniture. We’ve scheduled performances to suit after-work spontaneity and weekend outings, and we encourage arriving a touch early to soak in the ambiance of Le Rideau Rouge. This is the ideal setting for a comedy that thrives on proximity, precision, and that special spark that happens when a roomful of people realize they’re all living the same hilarious story.
