L'Antre Ki-oon 2024: Diving into the world of Cthulhu and exceptional encounters

For its 20th anniversary, l'Antre Ki-oon is expanding and enriching its experience with a special program. From April 4 to 14, 2024, in the heart of Paris, manga aficionados are invited to discover a universe where the myth of Cthulhu intertwines with Ki-oon's boundless creativity. This year, the lair unfolds through immersive decors, diversified animations, captivating exhibitions, signing sessions with renowned authors, and a panoply of exclusive goodies, not to mention shows that promise to leave a lasting impression.

One of the highlights of the event will be the exceptional presence of Cyril Coppini and Stéphane Ferrandez, two talented French rakugoka. They will offer the public two unique performances on Saturdays April 6 and 13 at 5pm. These sessions of rakugo, the traditional Japanese art of humorous storytelling, will be a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in the fascinating stories of Akane-banashi. Admission will be free, allowing everyone to escape for the duration of a show into the rich and surprising world of rakugo.
