“The Art of Always Being Right” Offers a Hilarious Glance at Political Rhetoric in Rouillac

Rouillac, France – This Friday, February 27, 2026, La Palène in Rouillac will host “L’art d’avoir toujours raison” (“The Art of Always Being Right”), a conference-spectacle by Compagnie Cassandre. The performance promises an evening of both entertainment and critical reflection on the techniques used in political discourse.

Decoding the Rhetoric of Power

The show, described as a “parody conference,” features two scientists from the Groupe International de Recherche pour l’Accession aux Fonctions Électorales (GIRAFE) who present a method for conquering power – or, at the very least, always appearing to be right. Through demonstrations, they reveal techniques such as mastering presentation, diverting arguments, and avoiding conflict. Charente Libre notes the performance is “as funny as it is disturbing.”

A Timely Performance

The timing of the performance is particularly relevant, falling on the eve of municipal elections. The show aims to expose the rhetorical devices and traps often employed in contemporary political language, including false analogies, “smokescreens,” and manipulative saturation techniques. According to event listings, the performance encourages audiences to laugh at – and learn to listen differently to – everyday political speech.
