“I told Molly we'd be ready for the Bad Man but we can never be ready. Nothing is ever buried, the earth rolls in its tracks, it never goes anywhere, it never changes, only the hope changes like morning and night, only the expectations rise and set. Why does there have to be promise before destruction?”Set in the XIXth century American Midwest, Welcome to Hard Times (PL, UK), by Karolina Soltys and David Owen, is a tale of human resilience and frailty.
The players will physically participate to the cycle of creation and destruction of a small settlement, building it with symbolic props.
In their doomed struggle to create a permanent home, the characters grow increasingly entwined. It is a Nordic-style black-box larp based on the novel of the same name by E.L. Doctorow (no knowledge of the novel is required). The set design is inspired by the movie Dogville by Lars Von Trier.
