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 welcome Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort, a sparkling, high-energy theatrical comedy that captures the pulse of modern relationships. From our vantage point as a neighborhood stage devoted to laughter, rhythm, and immediacy, this production ticks all the boxes: sharp writing, relatable situations, and a lively pace that keeps audiences leaning forward. We chose to program it because it speaks directly to the everyday negotiations between partners—those microscopic battles and grand reconciliations that everyone recognizes—while doing so with elegance rather than cynicism. In our intimate room, the performers’ quick-fire exchanges and playful fourth-wall moments gain extra potency: every raised eyebrow, every whispered aside, every improvised comeback ricochets across the rows and turns spectators into accomplices. Expect a cascade of scenes that move from first-date awkwardness to long-term domestic strategies, from “who does what at home” to the etiquette of messaging late at night, each served with a sense of timing that suits the convivial spirit of our venue.

Current artistic momentum: a refreshed, topical comedy that evolves with its audience

As curators of a season that favors fresh, evolving creations, we appreciate how this show keeps reinventing itself. The team behind Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort has refined the staging and writing with topical sparks—adding new bits about dating apps and ghosting, the hazards of shared calendars, the delicate politics of group chats, and the new rules of “who chooses the series tonight.” It’s an agile comedy that thrives on today’s vocabulary and technology without losing sight of classic stagecraft: punchy rhythms, neat reversals, and a flair for physical comedy when words are not enough. Over recent months, the production has resonated across France with enthusiastic word-of-mouth, propelled by post-show conversations and a growing fan base eager to bring partners, friends, and colleagues along for a second look. That momentum is exactly what we love to support at Le Rideau Rouge: a living piece that stays close to its spectators, adjusts its compass to the times, and surprises you with a line or gesture you didn’t see coming.

Presenting the show here also means crafting a tailor-made experience. Our stage layout favors proximity, so the actors can lean into audience interplay without sacrificing clarity or pace. Lighting cues and tight transitions allow each scene to pop like a self-contained slice of life, while the continuity of the evening builds a gentle narrative arc from friction to complicity. We encourage audiences to arrive a little early, settle in, and let the room’s warm acoustics do their magic; the crisp diction and ensemble timing are best enjoyed when you can catch every wink and aside. Whether you’re discovering the piece for the first time or returning with someone who “needs to see this,” Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort finds an especially welcoming home at Le Rideau Rouge, where laughter is a collective sport and the afterglow often spills into animated discussions on the way out into the streets of Lyon.
