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

At Le Rideau Rouge in Lyon, we are delighted to welcome the irresistibly witty production Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort, a sparkling, high-energy celebration of the eternal tug-of-war between hearts and habits. Our intimate stage suits the format perfectly: the performers play with the audience, ricochet from punchline to punchline, and turn everyday relationship mishaps into theatrical fireworks. The show’s premise is clear and contagious—watch couples, exes, and would‑be romantics stumble, argue, reconcile, and ultimately recognize themselves in a mirror held up with affection and a mischievous grin. The direction favors rapid changes of tempo, short scenes with razor-sharp dialogue, and physical comedy that keeps the room buzzing. For audiences at Le Rideau Rouge, this is a quintessential night out in Lyon: convivial, clever, and just spicy enough to spark debates on the way home. We’ve fine‑tuned lights and sound to amplify the comedians’ timing and ensure every aside, whisper, and quip lands in the last row with the same precision as in the front.

Current artistic momentum and a show that keeps evolving

What excites us most right now is how the creative team is keeping the material fresh. Even as the core comic engine of Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort remains the same—contrasts between how we listen and how we think we listen, how we apologize and how we win an argument—the staging has been updated with topical flourishes and sly nods to our hyper-connected lives. New set‑pieces lean into modern rituals: voice notes that say too much, group chats that say it all, and the dance of double‑ticks and read receipts. The company has sharpened a handful of recurring bits into named, crowd‑pleasing moments that fans now look out for, like the mock‑therapy “Checklist du pardon,” the role‑reversal riff “Mode Avion,” and the dinner‑party meltdown “Le Dîner de la vérité.” At Le Rideau Rouge, those sequences land with electric intimacy, because our room lets a raised eyebrow do as much work as a punchline. As the production tours, it returns to Lyon with the confidence of a hit that continues to grow in rhythm, adding small improvisations that react to the audience and the news of the week without losing the polish of a carefully crafted comedy.

From our vantage point in the wings, the artistic news is simple: the team behind the show is in full creative bloom and performing with the assurance that comes from full houses and word‑of‑mouth enthusiasm. Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort arrives at Le Rideau Rouge with a renewed pace and a refined sense of storytelling—tighter transitions, clever musical cues, and a stage design that turns a sofa, a smartphone, and a few strategically placed props into a whole world of couplehood. The performers embrace the theater’s proximity to invite the public into their games: whispered conspiracies to one side of the room, mock‑serious confessions to the other, and a signature audience interaction that changes nuance at every performance. We’re especially proud of how the production resonates with our Lyon audiences across generations: students laughing at dating-app tangles sit beside long‑time partners nodding in recognition. This is exactly why we programmed it at Le Rideau Rouge: a contemporary comedy of manners that keeps updating itself, that travels well yet feels tailor‑made for our stage, and that treats its subject—men, women, and everything in between—not with cynicism but with a generous, playful curiosity that fills the room with warmth and laughter.
