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 are delighted to host Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort, a sparkling, fast-paced comedy that turns everyday love stories into unforgettable theatre. From our vantage point in the room, the chemistry between the performers is immediate: the stage becomes a playground for razor-sharp lines, mischievous asides, and a lively back-and-forth with the audience that our intimate Lyon setting amplifies beautifully. This season, we have seen spectators arrive in groups—friends, couples, colleagues—ready to recognize themselves in the hilarious missteps of modern relationships. The show thrives on contrast and rhythm: moments of disarming sincerity collide with bursts of physical comedy, and the cast navigates it all with an improviser’s instinct, catching whispers and reactions from the front rows and spinning them into a collective laugh. Programming it at Le Rideau Rouge was a natural choice; its conversational tone, brisk scene changes, and nimble scenic elements suit our stage perfectly, allowing the performers to shift gears and perspectives while keeping the audience leaning forward, eager for the next surprise.

Fresh material, evolving comedy, and a new season of laughs

What excites us most at Le Rideau Rouge is the show’s artistic momentum. The creative team has enriched the evening with new sequences this year, polishing the writing to reflect how couples communicate—or clash—in 2025. Regulars who return to our venue will catch fresh beats and punchlines in scenes like “La Thérapie de Couple 3.0,” which playfully dissects the language of self-help culture, or “Le Dîner Chez les Beaux-Parents,” a riot of misunderstandings and high-stakes politeness. The performers double down on the friction between digital life and human quirks in “Les Notifs Qui Dérapent” and “Mode Avion à la Maison,” while “L’Apéro des Vérités” turns confessions into comic fireworks. As a theatre that closely follows the evolution of the productions we present, we’ve been impressed by the precision of timing, the tightened transitions, and the renewed sense of play that anchors these additions. The result is a show that feels both familiar and freshly minted, keeping the spirit of the original while embracing new angles, more audience interaction, and bolder shifts in tone. It’s the kind of live, pulsing comedy that benefits from a room like ours—close enough for glances to become jokes, and for laughter to ripple through the entire house.

From a production perspective, our team at Le Rideau Rouge has tailored the experience to highlight the show’s rhythm. The lighting design underscores the quick change of moods, slipping from warm intimacy to punchy brightness in a beat, while the sound is mixed to preserve the agility of the dialogue—even the sly whispers that trigger the biggest laughs. We’ve configured flexible staging so the actors can move seamlessly through the sketches, bringing spectators along on a tour of domestic battlegrounds, first dates gone sideways, and grand reconciliations engineered by sheer comic determination. Audiences tell us they relish how the actors read the room—no two performances are the same—and for us, that live-wire unpredictability is the essence of good café-théâtre in Lyon. Whether you’re discovering Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort for the first time or returning to catch the latest twists, the experience at Le Rideau Rouge magnifies the joy of recognition: those little truths about love and everyday compromise that make us laugh because they feel so dangerously accurate. We’re proud to offer a space where that alchemy can flourish, night after night.
