Et la lumière fut: musical comedy at the Théâtre de Passy

After captivating audiences at the Festival d'Avignon and on a national tour, Et la lumière fut returns to Paris. This creation by Swing Cockt'Elles, directed by Alain Sachs, will be at the Théâtre de Passy from November 15, 2025. The show's universe is a continuation of Et Dieu créa le Swing ! (And God Created Swing!), the previous hit born of the same collaboration between the vocal trio and the director.

Conceived as a true musical comedy for four performers, the show combines humor, live music, and contemporary reflections. The trio of singers, accompanied by a pianist, explores the big questions of our time—the future, fear, the quest for hope—responding to them with creativity and joy. The lucid and luminous narrative unfolds in a rhythmic stage setting, where the songs become living tableaux.
