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

At Le Rideau Rouge: welcoming Les Femmes Ont Toujours Raison, Les Hommes N'ont Jamais Tort

At Le Rideau Rouge in Lyon, we are thrilled to host Les Femmes Ont Toujours Raison, Les Hommes N'ont Jamais Tort, a buoyant theatrical comedy that turns everyday life into a sparkling exchange of wit, mischief, and tender truths. From our vantage point as a neighborhood theatre devoted to living, breathing performance, we love how this show plays with pace and proximity: the actors volley one-liners and physical gags that land all the better in an intimate room, where every eyebrow raise and mischievous aside ripples through the audience. The premise is universal—love and misunderstanding, chores and charm, timing and temperament—but the execution is brisk and contemporary, folding in the rhythms of modern couples, the anxieties of the digital age, and the sweet defeats that make us human. Whether you arrive as a couple ready to compare notes or as a group of friends eager to laugh at familiar situations, the energy in the room is collective, generous, and gloriously Lyonnais.

Current artistic momentum and a fresh theatrical pulse

Programming this production at Le Rideau Rouge answers a growing appetite among our audience for smart, accessible comedy that also values craft. The show’s artistic momentum has been palpable in recent seasons, with performances that keep a sharp ear for current references while staying rooted in character-driven humor. That balance—timely yet timeless—is what we seek to champion on our stage. In our house, the tightness of the dialogue shines, and the staging uses minimal props to maximum effect, turning a couch, a smartphone, or a dinner table into catalysts for sparkling conflict and reconciliation. The company’s approach thrives on rhythm and contrast: a burst of fast banter gives way to a pause of recognition; a playful jab softens into a moment of complicity; the next scene arrives before the giggle fades. By bringing the production to our theatre, we extend its conversation with local audiences—those who know Lyon’s taste for precise language, quick irony, and unvarnished sincerity.

What should you expect when you sit down at Le Rideau Rouge for Les Femmes Ont Toujours Raison, Les Hommes N'ont Jamais Tort? A theatrical evening that treats the minutiae of couplehood as a grand adventure, in which tiny negotiations—who cooks, who plans, who remembers—become set pieces worthy of a drumroll. The performers invite you to recognize yourself without ever pointing a finger; they sketch the great battle of the sexes as a duet, not a duel. You will hear the crackle of real life in the lines, the kind of detail that makes shared experience feel specific, and specific experience feel shared. We take pride in hosting a show that pairs laughter with craftsmanship: the timing is precise, the direction crisp, and the writing agile enough to catch contemporary currents without losing its warmth. Anchored in the convivial spirit of our venue, the evening unfolds like a conversation at a favorite table—animated, affectionate, and gleefully honest about how we love, argue, and find our way back to each other.
