"Les Couleurs de l'Électricité", theater at the Musée Electropolis
On the weekend of June 28 and 29, 2025, the Musée Electropolis invites the public to enjoy an enhanced visitor experience thanks to an exceptional performance of the play Les Couleurs de l'Électricité. Staged in a world of sound and light, this original creation by director Julien Clugery promises a captivating journey through the history of electricity, inspired by Raoul Dufy's masterwork, La Fée Electricité.
The painter Raoul Dufy, in search of inspiration for his masterpiece "La Fée Electricité", makes a wish... and finds himself propelled into a palace, embodied by the impressive hall of the Grande Machine Sulzer-BBC. There, he meets some of the leading scientific figures in the history of electricity: Abbé Nollet, André-Marie Ampère, Marie Curie and many others! Between far-fetched experiments, revolutionary theories and domestic quarrels, Dufy discovers the unsuspected colors of electricity... and the humanity behind the inventions.
Combining theater, music and lighting, Les Couleurs de l'Électricité transforms the museum's industrial heritage into a living stage. An actor-pianist weaves a musical link between the site, the story and the spectator's emotions, illuminating yesterday's scientific genius with today's sensibilities.
Julien Clugery continues his artistic approach begun in 2021 with Le Clos des Lumières, a theatrical tour of the EDF Paluel nuclear power plant, already inspired by the world of Dufy. With this new creation, he deepens his exploration of the link between art and electricity, drawing on the collections of the Musée Electropolis. Indeed, since November 2023, visitors have been able to discover a rare lithograph of La Fée Électricité, commissioned from Raoul Dufy by EDF in 1954: a precious replica of his monumental work on display at the Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris.
