Synopsis
Emperor, an interactive and narrative experience which invites us to travel inside the brain of a father, suffering from aphasia. Alongside his daughter, we journey into the father's mental space - imagined as a hand-drawn, monochrome landscape - as she seeks to learn more about his inner self, now obscured by illness. A poetic experience of the loss of one's faculties, of the passing of time, and of the bonds which, through it all, remain.
