Summary/Abstract: Taking into account three fundamental, partly contradictory, partly overlapping dimensions of aging- festival, apocalypse and elegia, this paper analyzes extensively the construction of a dynamic historical universe in Rojin Z, in which aging doesn't appear as ideologically emotional-social recycling of the concerned individuals, but as a future -oriented endeavor to refresh, fulfill and transcend the human being.
