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

Le Rideau Rouge welcomes Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort

At Le Rideau Rouge, we take great pleasure in hosting performances that spark conversation long after the curtain falls, and Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort fits that promise with brio. Staged in our intimate Lyon setting, the show dives into the small frictions and big affections that shape contemporary relationships, transforming everyday situations into joyful theatre. Our room’s close-up vantage points allow the artists to play with eye contact, pacing, and silence as deftly as they do with punchlines, ensuring that every sigh, raised eyebrow, and mischievous aside lands with the entire audience. The result is a live experience that feels tailor-made for each night: brisk, warm, and irresistibly interactive. Whether you come as a couple, with friends, or solo, the performance invites you to recognize yourself on stage, laugh together at familiar contradictions, and rediscover the art of affectionate debate in real time.

Artistic momentum, crafted for Lyon

From our perspective at Le Rideau Rouge, the troupe behind this creation arrives with palpable momentum, refining the show with fresh observations and crisp timing. The latest iteration brings sharper contrasts between domestic logic and emotional truth, weaving quick-fire exchanges with theatrical tableaux that spotlight the choreography of day-to-day life—phones buzzing, calendars colliding, and the subtle diplomacy of sharing space. The ensemble’s playful use of music cues and props heightens the comic rhythm without ever breaking intimacy; a kitchen chair becomes a cockpit, a handbag a diplomatic suitcase, and a ring tone a running gag. We love how the artists recalibrate each segment for our room’s acoustics and sightlines, leaning into the venue’s convivial scale to test new transitions, double down on call-and-response moments, and stretch pauses into delicious tension. This current season’s work foregrounds topical beats—digital etiquette, mental load, and the curious economics of chores—while preserving the universal heartbeat that has made the show such a word-of-mouth success.

What truly distinguishes Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort on our stage is the finesse of its live conversation with the audience. Rather than chasing easy stereotypes, the performers play cartographers of nuance, mapping the little negotiations that keep households running and affection intact. They switch registers with agility—sketch, stand-up, and playful role reversal—gliding from a whispered conspiracy between partners to a mock “summit meeting” that turns a grocery list into grand strategy. In our Lyon house, that elasticity blossoms: you will feel the temperature change as the room leans in, then erupts in laughter as a single look flips the premise. The artists’ current agenda includes experimenting with new micro-scenes that can be inserted on the fly, updates that keep the show alive to the news cycle and to the city’s mood on a given evening. It’s uncommonly personable theatre: immediate, generous, and beautifully engineered to leave you debating your favorite moments on the way out of Le Rideau Rouge—and perhaps negotiating, with a smile, who’s right and who’s never wrong.
