Mascota (2021) poster

The story of MASCOTA follows a lost pilgrim (PEREGRINA) who finds themselves furloughed in a town full of live action role players. In need of a square meal, the Pilgrim meets and follows a vagrant LARPer, RATBOY, who is fervently obsessed with an entity called the Floon. The townsfolk are not only all participating in a town wide LARP campaign, but they all appear to be compulsively partaking in a town lottery. The pilgrim comes to find that each individual’s lottery ticket is what allows them to participate in the town’s activities. Without a ticket, one is ostracized from all establishments and events, and like Ratboy, becomes a Mascota, and townsfolk then consider them to be a subaltern citizen. Mascotas present as half human/half animal figures, as they have chosen a path whereby they no longer see the difference between their in-game role-play and their out-of-game persona.
