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 delighted to host Les Femmes ont toujours raison, les Hommes n’ont jamais tort, a playful and sharp-tongued exploration of modern relationships that fits perfectly with our stage’s taste for lively, human-centered comedy. From our vantage point in the wings, what excites us most about this production is the way it turns everyday life into theatrical fireworks: the rhythms of argument, the choreography of reconciliation, and the irresistible pleasure of recognizing oneself in scenes that feel as familiar as a living room and as theatrical as a duel. The performers thrive on conversational tempo, quick reversals, and the kind of well-aimed punchlines that draw a collective gasp before the laugh. Our room’s intimacy nurtures that connection; you can feel the audience lean in, then burst out, then hush, as the show navigates the fine line between affectionate teasing and razor-precise observation. It is relationship comedy built for a live, present-tense encounter—exactly the kind of electricity we love to amplify at Le Rideau Rouge.

Current artistic momentum and fresh material on our stage

Programming this title at Le Rideau Rouge also means embracing an artistically active moment for the creators behind it. The show arrives with refreshed sequences and a renewed appetite for interactive energy. We’ve seen the latest version sparkle with tightly woven scenes that structure the evening like a playlist of couples’ milestones, each with its own flavor. Several new sketches stand out for our team: Le Guide du premier rendez-vous, which spins awkward beginnings into a victory dance for honesty; Mode d’emploi de la mauvaise foi, a virtuoso lesson in rhetorical gymnastics; La Thérapie de couple express, where compromised compromises become a sport; and Le Dîner chez Belle-Maman, a miniature social epic staged around a single table. There is also Manuel de survie au supermarché, a witty sprint through domestic diplomacy, and Chacun sa charge mentale, which gives the often invisible balancing act a vivid, comic pulse. These pieces are not just add-ons; they are crafted like musical movements that modulate tone and pace, letting the performers glide from sharp satire to tenderness in a heartbeat. Our technical crew has tailored light and sound cues to accentuate those pivots—warm glows for the confessional beats, crisp snaps for sparring matches—so the audience’s attention lands exactly where the comedy wants it.

As a venue, we program the show with the experience in mind from the moment guests step through our doors at Le Rideau Rouge. The set is arranged to keep the action close, the timing is calibrated for generous laughter, and the transitions ensure there is no lull between sparkling moments. On performance nights, the energy builds early: you can hear it in the pre-show murmur, the anticipatory hush just before the first line, and the rolling waves of laughter that follow. Our team champions artists who speak directly to everyday life with style and generosity, and Les Femmes ont toujours raison, les Hommes n’ont jamais tort does so with panache. Whether you come as a couple ready to compare notes, as a group of friends looking for a cathartic laugh, or solo to savor the craft up close, the show rewards attention with detail: a perfectly timed glance, a reversal that clicks into place, a callback that lands like a secret handshake. We’re proud to host it in Lyon, where the appetite for smart, warm, and mischievous comedy makes every performance feel like a celebration.
