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

At Le Rideau Rouge, a front-row seat to a crowd-pleasing duel

From our vantage point at Le Rideau Rouge, we see exactly why Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort has become an audience favorite: it turns everyday negotiations of love and domestic life into a sparkling, high-tempo duel, perfectly calibrated for our intimate Lyon stage. The room’s warm acoustics and close sightlines let every eye-roll, aside, and rapid-fire comeback land with precision, making spectators feel like co-conspirators in the great puzzle of living together. Our technical team has worked hand-in-hand with the production to fine-tune light cues that punctuate the verbal sparring, while playful sound design heightens the rhythm of punchlines without overwhelming the actors’ timing. Night after night, we watch couples nudge each other, groups of friends exchange knowing glances, and entire rows burst into shared recognition. The staging leans into our venue’s character: a minimal set that transforms swiftly from living room to therapist’s office to family table, with the red curtain framing it all like a ring for a comedy bout where nobody really loses—except bad faith and lazy clichés.

Artistic momentum and new flavors in the material

As a living show, this production keeps evolving—and this season at Le Rideau Rouge, the troupe has sharpened its claws with new sequences and tighter transitions that amplify the joyous pace. Regulars will spot fresh material woven into existing scenes, and newcomers will find a clear, witty thread guiding them through the minefield of modern relationships. Our programmers love how the writing switches registers—from wordplay to physical comedy to sly social observation—allowing a versatile cast to show distinct colors. Among the crowd-pleasers, we’ve seen thunderous laughter greet sketch moments like Le Tribunal du Salon, where a remote control becomes Exhibit A; Thérapie express, a parody of couples counseling with stopwatch precision; Mode d’emploi du couple 2.0, which pokes fun at love in the age of apps; and Le Conseil de famille, a banquet of arguments as only relatives can serve. On recent performances, new bits such as Dictionnaire de la mauvaise foi and Le Duel des textos have slotted in seamlessly, showing the team’s knack for adding topical spice while preserving the show’s core: affectionate teasing, razor-sharp timing, and the liberating pleasure of recognizing oneself onstage. That sustained creative energy is precisely what we seek at Le Rideau Rouge—work that plays to a full house and still dares to refine itself from week to week.

Presenting this title at Le Rideau Rouge also speaks to our broader mission: hosting comedians and comédies de mœurs that connect instantly with Lyon’s audiences while rewarding repeat visits. The performers use our space as a playground, inviting spontaneous exchanges, testing mischievous asides with the front rows, and turning every performance into a small event. You’ll notice the staging favors quick role switches and nimble prop work; our crew keeps the scene changes almost invisible so that the laughs never lose momentum. The result is a lively, generous spectacle that thrives on complicity—between characters onstage and between the company and our public. Whether you come as a couple, with friends, or in a group outing, the evening feels tailored to you: a sequence will spotlight the eternal debate over household “expertise,” another will revisit first dates, and yet another will celebrate the creative art of apology. We take pride in witnessing that chemistry bloom from curtain-up to curtain call; it’s the essence of why this title belongs in our season. If you’ve been searching for an outing that blends popular humor with finely chiseled craft, trust the reactions we hear from the back row to the balcony: Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort is the kind of feel-good, smart entertainment that makes Le Rideau Rouge hum.
