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 in Lyon, we are thrilled to host Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort, a sparkling ode to the joys and jolts of modern relationships. Our intimate stage is tailor-made for this buoyant, fast-moving comedy: the performers thrive on proximity, trading quips and truths with the audience in a rhythm that feels as alive as an overheard conversation at your favorite café. Expect a deft mix of theatrical play and sketch energy, where everyday scenes—text messages spiraling into misunderstandings, the mental load of domestic life, the grammar of emojis, co-parenting choreography, and the delicate dance of desire—become fuel for laughter and self-recognition. The show’s language is universal, the situations instantly recognizable, and the staging nimble enough to switch from a living room to a restaurant, from an office to a holiday road trip at the turn of a prop or the flicker of a light. As a venue that prizes clarity of sound and close-up acting, Le Rideau Rouge offers the ideal vantage point to catch the finesse of looks, overlaps, and punchlines that make this evening such a delight.

Artistic momentum and the experience at Le Rideau Rouge

The artistic engine behind Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort arrives at Le Rideau Rouge in full creative flight, with a version that keeps evolving to mirror how couples actually live now. The writing leans into fresh terrain—sharing space when working from home, the calendar gymnastics of blended families, eco-anxiety creeping into dinner-table debates, and the curious etiquette of read receipts. Rather than repackaging TV-friendly routines, the company has crafted theater-first scenes with arcs, callbacks, and character turns that bloom over the course of the evening. The result is an experience tuned to a room like ours: you hear the crispness of each rejoinder, see the micro-expressions that tip a line from playful to pointed, and feel the chemistry that only grows when performers can register audience reactions in real time. Fans of contemporary French humor will recognize the observational sparkle beloved across the country, yet here it’s woven into a narrative fabric that rewards attention and offers surprises right up to the final black-out—without ever letting the laughter flag.

For this run at Le Rideau Rouge, we have shaped a stage picture that amplifies the show’s comic mechanics while keeping the traffic fluid: modular furniture suggests the domestic battlefield (and playground), lighting punctuates reversals and reveals, and sound cues stitch together scenes with the spry pace the piece demands. From the first entrance, the dialogue ricochets with a blend of tenderness and provocation—hearing a familiar argument escalate until it flips, watching a small act of kindness unspool into comic chaos, or seeing how a mishandled surprise becomes the sweetest of reconciliations. The pleasure, as ever in our venue, is the sense of being in the room where it happens: the performers can take a breath when a laugh runs long, dart forward when a silence tightens, and welcome that extra spark that only a Lyon audience provides. Whether you come as a couple, with friends, or flying solo, you’ll find your own experience mirrored on stage—and you’ll leave with those shared catchphrases and knowing smiles that keep the conversation going long after the curtain falls.
