The timeless icon of animation, Goldorak, is marking its 45th anniversary with a grand return to Paris, stirring the hearts and minds of multiple generations worldwide. This year, fans are invited to delve into the legendary saga of Goldorak, the space robot, through two major events celebrating its enduring legacy and impact on pop culture.

From April 5th to April 28th, 2024, the Mairie du 9e arrondissement transforms into a nostalgic realm with the Goldorak Xperienz exhibition. This free event invites fans to journey back to their childhoods, exploring the epic adventures of Goldorak, the robot that has been a companion to many after school for years. The exhibition showcases the mythical locations from the series, a vast collection of toys, posters, records, and other memorabilia, offering a unique opportunity to revisit the animated series' themes with an adult perspective – from the fear of nuclear power to environmental preservation.

The exhibition is divided into four thematic zones, each named after iconic settings from the series, including the Ranch du Bouleau Blanc and the Camp de la Lune Noire. Visitors will uncover the genesis of this beloved series, admire original drawings, production elements, and celluloids, and learn about Goldorak's journey to France and the warm reception it received in the late 1970s and 1980s.

On April 18th, 2024, Le Grand Rex will host the Goldorak Xperienz night, an exceptional event that promises an unforgettable evening for fans. The night will feature a unique symphonic concert by the XperienZ Orchestra, accompanied by iconic singers of the Goldorak theme songs, in a giant karaoke session. This enhanced edition of the event follows the success of the first Retronight at Le Grand Rex and will include film and episode screenings selected by fans, celebrity guests, autograph sessions, and numerous surprises.

The 45th anniversary of Goldorak is not just a celebration of the series itself but a tribute to its profound influence on pop culture. These April events showcase the love and admiration fans continue to hold for this iconic figure, offering a chance to come together, share memories, and honor a series that has indelibly marked the history of animation and beyond. Goldorak remains a powerful symbol of hope and courage, inspiring awe 45 years after its debut.
