We have been a bit slow this year, but we are now ready to announce the first larps from the programme in the near future. Yay! Our first announcement is the larp The Anatomy Lesson by Mo Holkar.
Amsterdam, 1632. Violent criminal Aris Kindt mugs a passer-by, trying to steal their valuable cloak. Kindt is arrested, tried, and executed by hanging. The body is publicly dissected by Dr Nicolaes Tulp, the official city anatomist: the young artist Rembrandt paints this macabre scene.

During the larp, the participants will play through this sequence of events eight times. Each run-through lasts 10–15 minutes, and is made up of three short scenes: the mugging and arrest, the trial and execution, and the dissection and painting. The scenes are set to music and are non-verbal. In each run-through, each participant will play a different role in the story.
