Ulysse 31 - Télémaque - Lot 188

Ulysse 31 - Télémaque From episode 7 - "Sisyphe ou l'éternel recommencement" . Original production celluloid (double layer) for the cult series Ulysses 31, imagined by Jean Chalopin and Nina Wolmark, freely inspired by Homer's Odyssey. Ink and gouache on celluloid - Original gouache decor from the episode. Produced by DIC and TMS between 1981 and 1982. Very good condition. Slight traces of use consistent with age and studio handling. 26.5 x 23 cm Certificate of authenticity. Exceptional original celluloid depicting Telemachus, from the "Sisyphus or the Eternal Beginning" episode of Ulysses 31, accompanied by an original background particularly emblematic of the episode. This recurring background represents the infernal slope that Sisyphus' sphere of torment eternally descends, before coming to rest on the edge of the abyss where he is condemned to push it back again and again. A central element of the episode's staging, this omnipresent setting contributes fully to the tragic, mythological atmosphere that makes Ulysses 31 so unique.
