The Tree of Life

Imagine a great and beautiful tree. Different creatures live in its branches, among the roots, in the bark, and amid the tree's leaves. The creatures get along, for the most part, until things start to change, and the creatures have to struggle to save their home and their well-being.

Players will need to find solutions to mysterious problems. This is a game for young players, touching on topics of community, responsibility, and problem-solving, wrapped up in a multi-layer metaphor of the Tree of Life. 

Designed by the Peipsi Center for Transboundary Cooperation in Estonia as part of the Larp for Climate Project. 

Facilitated by Nina Runa Essendrop and Andreas Dørum.

Finding the Real Thing

"Finding the Real Thing" is a true story about nothing… Using Virtual Reality and “Analog Virtual Reality” you are taken on a journey through real and nonexistent digital rooms and a history of the theatrical Black box and the gallery White cube. With the use of a digital blindfold and a fabric helmet you are invited to play with things and no things and imagine yourself as an emptiness that is full of everything in the world.

 VR contains flashing images, and conceptions of infinity that some may find disturbing. 

By Francis Patrick Brady

 

Truly Madly Deeply

  This larp is about the kind of break up that changes everything, even the past. It explores the destructive dynamics between two parents during and after divorce and how conflict has become the essence of their new relationship. By playing the conflict in reverse, the players get to unfold, and maybe even untangle, the reasons and emotions that have made them lose sight of things more important than themselves.

The larp is played in pairs, with high intensity and close intimacy. Mina and Linton have drawn inspiration for this larp from their work as divorce attorneys specialised in child custody cases.
