By Mulder, Villepinte, Parc des Expositions, 15 march 2025

The Paris Manga & Sci-Fi Show 2025, which has been held since today and for the whole weekend at the Paris-Nord Villepinte Exhibition Center, has once again brought together pop culture enthusiasts for a program rich in meetings and conferences. Among the guests at this year's event was Caroline Pascal, an actress well known to fans of the cult series Kaamelott, who was on hand to talk to the audience about her role as Demetra and her impressive career in dubbing and theater.

While the general public knows her mainly for her role as Demetra, Caroline Pascal made a lasting impression on fans of Kaamelott, the series conceived and directed by Alexandre Astier. This program, broadcast between 2005 and 2009, quickly won over a large audience thanks to its unique humor and its reinterpretation of Arthurian legends. Demetra, a secondary but memorable character, is one of those endearing figures who contributed to the richness of the series' universe. During the conference, the actress shared several anecdotes from the set and talked about how she integrated this now cult universe. She emphasized the high standards and precision of the work of Alexandre Astier, who writes, directs and plays the role of King Arthur himself. She also spoke of the camaraderie and warm atmosphere on set, which made the experience unforgettable for the whole team.

In addition to her appearance in Kaamelott, Caroline Pascal has a much broader and more diverse career. Passionate about theater, she has performed in several plays, exploring various registers and asserting her talent on stage. But it is also in the field of dubbing that her name resonates strongly with film and television series enthusiasts. She is notably the French voice of several renowned actresses, including Olivia Wilde and Liza Weil (Gilmore Girls, How to Get Away with Murder). Her dubbing work does not stop there, as she also lends her voice to Nadia in the animated series Titeuf and to Vera Dinkley in the Scooby-Doo franchise, taking over from Laurence Badie and Chantal Macé. This versatility allows her to reach a wide audience, from animation enthusiasts to fans of French-language films and series.

During her talk, Caroline Pascal had the opportunity to answer numerous questions from the audience, who were delighted to meet an iconic figure from Kaamelott. The public's enthusiasm proves that, more than 20 years after the series was launched, Kaamelott remains a work deeply rooted in French popular culture. The actress also mentioned her appearance in the documentary Aux Sources de Kaamelott, a project carried out between 2006 and 2010 that explores in depth the genesis and impact of the series through the testimonies of several actors and experts in medieval history. This documentary, which accompanies the complete six-book Kaamelott series on DVD, provides a better understanding of the historical and artistic influences behind this unique work.

This edition of the Paris Manga & Sci-Fi Show once again confirmed its status as a must-attend event for pop culture enthusiasts. With meetings, conferences, screenings and stands dedicated to the worlds of cinema, TV series, manga and comics, the show welcomed thousands of visitors who came to celebrate their favorite works. Caroline Pascal's participation was perfectly in keeping with this spirit, offering Kaamelott fans a special opportunity to meet and share their experiences. Her appearance served as a reminder of the series' ongoing impact, particularly with the recent release of Kaamelott: Premier Volet, which marks the beginning of a cinematic trilogy long awaited by fans.
