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

At Le Rideau Rouge: les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort

From our stage at Le Rideau Rouge, we are thrilled to welcome the uproariously sharp romantic comedy les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort, a whirlwind of wit that has become a favorite with our Lyon audiences. Hosting this production in our intimate, warm space allows every line, glance, and mischievous aside to land with precision. You feel the pace quicken and the laughter ripple from the first minute: brisk repartee, crisp physical comedy, and a knowing sense of timing that thrives in our close-up, cabaret-like acoustics. We’ve tuned the lighting to follow the rhythm of punchlines and reversals, and our sound design frames those spontaneous bursts when the performers riff on the crowd’s reactions. The piece navigates all the marital minefields with a smile—dating expectations, domestic negotiations, the modern etiquette of texting, and the eternal dance of pride versus pragmatism—while keeping the humor affectionate and inclusive. Couples sit shoulder to shoulder and nudge each other; friends exchange knowing looks; singles recognize the universal truths. This is precisely the kind of lively, human-scale theatre we love to present at Le Rideau Rouge.

A fresh season of laughter and a production that keeps evolving

As a venue, we have followed this production’s evolution with delight. Year after year, the creative team keeps the material fresh, trimming, enriching, and re-blocking scenes so the show speaks to the moment. This season, the staging leans into a dynamic, almost choreographic rhythm: arguments unfold like dances, pauses become punchlines, and the smallest prop becomes a source of comic invention. The company plays with contemporary themes—dating apps that blur signals, eco-conscious living turning chores into debates, the etiquette of remote work blurring boundaries at home—while never straying from the heart of the piece: tenderness beneath teasing, admiration beneath contradiction. Our room at Le Rideau Rouge is perfectly sized for this balance of wit and warmth, and the cast uses it fully, slipping into asides, leaning into the audience, and embracing spontaneous reactions. That live electricity is central to the show’s energy and to our programming vision: staging comedy that feels handcrafted for the audience in front of it, night after night. In the current run here, you can expect lively callbacks, clever bits of local color threaded into scenes, and a sleekly paced evening that seems to fly by without ever feeling rushed.

For our patrons at Le Rideau Rouge, the experience of les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort is as much about community as it is about comedy. The performers engage the room with playful micro-interactions—gestures, glances, a rhetorical question lobbed into the dark—that draw everyone into the joke without ever breaking the narrative. You’ll hear laughter crest and return in waves as the show traces the lifecycle of a relationship: the flutter of first meetings, the tangled web of expectations, the negotiations over space and time, and the realization that “winning” an argument can be less satisfying than truly understanding one another. We have scheduled a run that invites both weekday audiences looking for an energizing evening and weekend visitors seeking a celebratory night out. Our team is on hand to guide you from entry to seating, with the bar open before the performance for a convivial start. Whether you arrive as a duo, a group of friends, or boldly solo, the show’s signature blend of playful provocation and generous empathy ensures you’ll feel seen. At Le Rideau Rouge, we cherish this kind of theatrical encounter—smart, spirited, and delightfully human—and we’re proud to host a production that keeps our stage buzzing with laughter and recognition.
