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

Le Rideau Rouge welcomes a sparkling evening of relationship comedy

At Le Rideau Rouge, we love it when a show electrifies the room before the first line is even spoken, and Les Femmes Ont Toujours Raison, Les Hommes N'ont Jamais Tort does exactly that. The title alone sets the tone: a battle of wits wrapped in tenderness, where everyday misunderstandings between partners explode into gleefully theatrical moments. From our vantage point in the house, this production shines for its lively rhythm, crisp exchanges, and the kind of physical comedy that lands just as well in the front row as it does in the balcony. The staging plays beautifully with our intimate space: quick entrances, split-second reversals, and a delightful knack for turning simple objects into comic catalysts. Whether you arrive hand-in-hand or with a group of friends, you can expect a cascade of scenes that deftly mix sharp one-liners with endearing vulnerability, inviting you to recognize yourself—sometimes a little too closely—in the duel of perspectives on love, cohabitation, and the heroic art of being wrong with flair.

Current artistic momentum, refreshed energy, and a spotlight on the troupe

We are hosting this run because the troupe behind Les Femmes Ont Toujours Raison, Les Hommes N'ont Jamais Tort comes to Lyon with palpable momentum and an appetite for the living pulse of contemporary comedy. Their current approach favors a buoyant, actor-driven style: elastic timing, precise listening, and carefully choreographed chaos that feels spontaneous from start to finish. This season, the text arrives with a renewed sparkle—laced with topical nods to modern routines and the micro-dramas of everyday life, from joint calendars to dinner plans, from texting etiquette to that mysterious domestic law that dirty dishes obey. At Le Rideau Rouge, we see how this version has been tailored to our stage: the beats land with quicksilver clarity, the transitions are brisk, and the actors play the room with a conspiratorial wink that brings the audience into the joke. It’s a crowd-pleasing ride that leans into the comedy of recognition while preserving the heart that makes the laughter linger. For anyone following today’s French theatrical comedy, it’s a lively snapshot of the genre’s best instincts—light on its feet, brave with its observations, and generous with its fun.

What sets this evening apart, beyond the irresistible title, is the way our venue’s unique acoustics and sightlines amplify the show’s playful volley between “she said” and “he heard.” Le Rideau Rouge is purpose-built for this kind of intimate, high-velocity comedy: the punchlines travel cleanly, the glances hit their mark, and the tiniest shift in tone carries to the back of the house. You’ll notice how the performers use our red-curtain frame to multiply the surprises—miniature coups de théâtre tucked into corners, lightning-fast changes, and a choreography of entrances that keeps the energy buoyant. Arrive a little early to soak in the warm, neighborhood buzz around the room, then settle in for a performance that makes a perfect date night or friends’ outing. The humor is inclusive and generous—no one is spared, everyone is embraced—and the staging keeps the laughter rolling without losing the tenderness beneath the sparring.
