Clair Obscur Expedition 33: the game's soundtrack concert tour, our opinion

Clair-Obscur, trouble de rature, courberaaaaaaaa Eiffel... got it stuck in your head? It's only just beginning. If you are one of the players who were moved by Clair Obscur, Expedition 33, the globally successful work by Sandfall Interactive, then here's some news that should make you happy: a concert tour based on the game's soundtrack is coming to France, followed by the announcement of international dates in 2026. 

It must be said that this soundtrack really made an impression on us, and not just because of its influence on the script. From Lumière and its Dim-dim-dam-dada, to Une vie à t'aimer, the poignant duet byLorien Testard and Alice Duport-Percier,to Rain on the Ground with its electro vibe, the captivating Robe de Jour, and Déchirer la Toile, which accompanied us throughout the RPG, everyone has their favorite song or songs. 

For the Parisian audience, the date has been set for October 28 and 29, 2025, at the Salle Pleyel, and October 30 at the Dôme de Paris. But what can we expect?

The show is just like the game, with a touch of humor and a lot of emotion. It is an experience at the crossroads between orchestral, lyricism, metal, and jazz, with a hint of electro adapted into a symphonic version. We relive and rediscover in a new light the music that has thrilled us throughout the adventure, with staging that references poignant sequences from the game with well-placed nods. If you're planning to attend the concert, or are determined to get tickets for future dates, we advise you to learn as little as possible to keep the element of surprise. 

While it is not necessary to be familiar withthe world of Clair Obscur to appreciate the music, it is better to have played the game to truly experience this symphonic concert to the fullest. Otherwise, it would be difficult to grasp the power of the solemn speech given by François Meurisse, production director of Clair Obscur and co-founder of Sandfall Interactive studio, who put us in the shoes of future expedition members, bringing tears to our eyes. Throughout the show, the voices of the soundtrack and the actors took to the stage and brought back memories of Expedition 33.

ConductorDaniel Sicard hosts the show and creates interactivity with the audience. During the performance we attended, the audience was at times quite shy, but he managed to reverse the trend with a knowing look. During a long standing ovation, there was a moment of unity where artists and spectators thanked each other in an atmosphere full of goodwill, illustrating the community that has been created around a game made by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts.
