“The secrets of the mysterious golden cities”, the Toussaint holiday exhibition in Angoulême

Photos and diagrams, sketches and storyboards: the exhibition aims to be “playful and didactic”. He tells how director Jean-Luc François had to assemble a team of nearly 150 professionals to bring the program back to life. “It’s not every day that you write sequels to a legendary series that has rocked generations of children,” he says.

The challenge was artistic and technical: to recall the style of the 80s by modernizing it. The characters were created in 3D with 3D rendering. It was also necessary to take the viewer on a journey: China, Japan, India, Zimbabwe, Congo, France

The exhibition traces the epic well. The highlight of the visit: a large replica of the Condor, a futuristic vehicle.
