Empereur

The project

Empereur (EMPEROR) is an interactive, narrative virtual reality experience. It invites you to travel inside the brain of a father with aphasia: a man who has lost the ability to speak, and his daughter who is trying to communicate with him.

Trying to piece together what is left of his language, she discovers that her father's relationship with words is tied to the memories of a lifetime. Clue after clue, the viewer dives with her into this inner world to decipher the story he can no longer tell.

Monochrome, close to traditional animation, this personal story with surreal overtones explores aphasia as a faraway country: a poetic experience about loss, the passing of time and the bonds that remain.
