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 Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort, a piece that turns the everyday theatre of relationships into an evening of sparkling, quick-witted comedy. From our vantage point in the room, we see how this show thrives on intimacy: the performers’ energy bounces effortlessly off our close-up stage, the timing of punchlines lands with precision, and the audience becomes an accomplice to the characters’ delightful contradictions. The premise is simple yet inexhaustible—how couples navigate love, pride, chores, jealousy, and the mounting expectations of modern life—and the writing embraces that universality with a tempo that never loosens its grip. Audiences can expect a cascade of scenes that shift from sly observational humor to bursts of physical comedy and real tenderness, the kind of rhythm that keeps the room laughing while leaving space for moments of recognition. Whether it’s the thorny question of who is “right” during a domestic standoff, a hilariously off-kilter therapy session, or the way a smartphone can spark a melodrama, the production uses our venue’s tight acoustics and sightlines to make every expression read and every retort resonate. At Le Rideau Rouge, that closeness enhances the show’s game of love and logic, letting spectators feel the heat of debate and the warmth of reconciliation in equal measure.

Current momentum and what you will experience in Lyon

From our programming office, we look for works that feel immediate, and Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort has arrived with precisely that momentum. Recent performances have shown a refreshing knack for incorporating the hot-button topics that fill real-life conversations—social media misunderstandings, the so-called “mental load,” and the constantly renegotiated rules of coupledom—without ever losing the lightness that makes the laughter flow. On stage, the characters bounce between bold one-liners and playful role reversals, and the performers relish the freedom of addressing the audience directly when a moment begs for complicity. For us as a venue team, that interaction is a highlight: the reactions that ripple across our rows—knowing nods, gleeful groans, and incredulous “oh yes!”—feed the performers, who in turn sharpen each exchange. The direction favors brisk transitions that suit our room’s configuration, allowing scene changes to happen in a snap and keeping the narrative’s comic voltage high. It’s a show that feels at home in Lyon, alive to the city’s appetite for smart, human comedy. And while the theme invites playful debate, the tone remains inclusive, opting for affection over antagonism and letting the absurdity of everyday life carry the laughter.

We are also keen to highlight how the creative team has kept the piece evolving, a hallmark of living theatre that we love championing at Le Rideau Rouge. New beats and callbacks have been woven in to reflect what audiences are talking about now, giving the show the freshness of a conversation you can’t wait to continue after the curtain call. The performers’ chemistry—visible in the crisp pacing of their dialogue and the confidence with which they handle spontaneous reactions—makes the humor feel handmade for the evening you attend. Our technical crew supports that immediacy with warm, flattering lighting and tight sound that keeps every verbal feint and comic aside audible, even in the softest conspiratorial whisper. If you’re visiting us for the first time, expect the hallmark atmosphere of our venue: an intimate welcome, a stage framed in rich red, and a sense of shared discovery that turns a night out into a lively memory. If you’re returning, you’ll find this production sits perfectly alongside the contemporary comedies we curate—works that mix crowd-pleasing wit with an eye for the times. Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort arrives here not just as a title but as a living, breathing performance, tuned to our room and to the audience that brings it to life in Lyon.
