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

At Le Rideau Rouge: a front‑row seat to Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort

From our stage at Le Rideau Rouge, we welcome audiences into the heart of Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort, a sparkling, quick‑witted exploration of couplehood that has become one of the liveliest tickets in Lyon. Our room is built for this kind of encounter: intimate sightlines, crisp sound, and a palpable hush that turns into laughter the moment the performers lock eyes with the crowd. The show is paced like a conversation you can’t stop listening to—riffs that spiral into delirious disputes, callbacks that tie the evening together, and a playful rapport with spectators that makes each performance feel unique to our walls. You’ll see everyday negotiations—who does what, who said what, who forgot what—spun into theatrical set‑pieces, with characters switching gears at breakneck speed. At Le Rideau Rouge, those details read beautifully: a raised eyebrow is as audible as a punchline, a silence is as musical as a cymbal crash, and a perfectly timed aside can bring the whole room together in a shared grin.

Artistic momentum and new material in focus

As a venue devoted to contemporary comedy, we’ve watched the creative team behind this production sharpen their voice from night to night, and their current momentum is unmistakable. Recent sessions at Le Rideau Rouge have unveiled fresh bits that audiences instantly adopt as in‑jokes, including sketch sequences like “La To‑Do List du Couple,” a whip‑smart tour of daily chores diplomacy; “Le Mode d’Emploi des Textos,” where misunderstandings ricochet from emojis to existential crises; and “Le Dîner qui Dégénère,” in which a simple menu becomes a conflict‑resolution masterclass. In parallel with the live dates, the performers sustain a lively presence across stages and digital platforms, road‑testing minis and refining rhythms before bringing them here in definitive form. That agile process keeps the show evolving: taglines sharpen, characters deepen, and a new cascade of punchlines lands with each return engagement. The result for our audience is a succession of premieres—material that feels hot off the notebook, delivered with the craft of seasoned comics who know how to read a room and ride a laugh.

What defines Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort in our space is the way it turns the room into an active partner. The performers canvass the aisles for playful answers, invite couples to weigh in, and weave those spur‑of‑the‑moment confessions into recurring motifs that tie the evening together. One favorite thread, “Le Tribunal des Chaussettes Orphelines,” transforms household detritus into theatrical evidence; another, “La Négociation du Dimanche,” stages a peace talk between naps, sport, and brunch. Between these set‑pieces, the show’s language crackles with contrasts—self‑mockery next to tenderness, satire balanced with compassion—so that even as the jokes fly, the characters remain warmly human. Our technical team supports the pace with precise lighting cues that spotlight a sly grimace or isolate a two‑person standoff, and a nimble sound design that punctuates reversals without overwhelming the wit. Whether you come to recognize your own life in the mirror or simply to watch virtuoso timing at close range, Le Rideau Rouge offers the ideal vantage point for a comedy that renews itself performance after performance while keeping its pulse on the way we love, argue, and laugh today.
