THE EYES OF MILA KAOS

VIRTUAL REALITY ANIMATION DOCUMENTARY | 30 MINS | IN PRODUCTION
SPAIN, FRANCE, GERMANY

Synopsis The Eyes of Mila Kaos is a Virtual Reality 6 DOF experience inside the mind of the dual being Tony/Mila.

Tony is a 30-ish year old Cuban actor who as a teenager created Mila Kaos, a Drag Queen who performed in gay shows banned and persecuted in Havana. Over time, the character has become his shield, his heroine’s outfit.

As the experience begins, the Player embodies this hybrid being as they prepare to go out to perform in a queer show. Like many homosexuals, Tony has been repressed not only by much of society but by people as close to him as his father. Tonight, for the first time, Tony’s father is in the audience.

This news paralyzes Tony’s transformation into Mila by generating a panic attack that transports the Player, literally, inside Tony/Mila’s head. The Player will gradually discover this magical space, while interacting with different memories of Tony/Mila’s life in Cuba, a homophobic, sexist and biased country. From the difficult relationship with his father, the first approaches to homosexuality, to a rape that Tony prefers to forget and could never confess to his family.

The Player will embody avatars with empowering abilities that will allow to accompany Tony/Mila’s mental journey until they overcome the paralyzing panic. Only then they will be able to go out and act.
