Autant en emporte le vent

Autant en emporte le vent is a French musical adaptation of the 1936 Margaret Mitchell novel Gone with the Wind produced by Dove Attia and Albert Cohen in 2003, with music and lyrics by Gérard Presgurvic and staging and choreography by Kamel Ouali. The production is said to be a "musical spectacular" that gives "the black characters greater voice, in song and dance, [to express] their desire for freedom."

The debut performance was at Palais des Sports de Paris on 30 September 2003. After three months daily performances in Paris, the show moved to tour other major cities in France, Belgium, and Switzerland. The final show was in Nîmes arena on 11 July 2004.
