Ready, Set, Switch! A larp about collaborative identity

In Ready, Set, Switch! groups of players take turns playing the same character while multiple scenes play out in parallel, to explore some of the feelings and experiences, both negative and positive, that arise from discovering you exist in a plural system. How are you supposed to meet your goals, make friends, build relationships, when you’re missing out on 2/3rds of your own life?

“Plurality” is a type of neurodivergence where multiple people/identities/consciousnesses collectively share a single body, and a “system” is a common term to refer to this group. The characters are ordinary contemporary people living their lives in three everyday scenes, except that multiple players take turns portraying the same character in sequence. Players will switch between three concurrent scenes and have the experience as their charcaters of arriving in the middle of a situation they don’t recall starting. Keeping track of identities and meeting your goals will be a struggle at first, but it won’t last forever, once you meet the others you share your life with and learn how to work together.

Larp House Presents: Strangers

CANCELLED —

Strangers: An Immigration Larp

Difficulties can arise when different cultures meet on uneven terms.

Two cultures in neighboring countries. Not friends and not enemies, each minding their own business. Then catastrophe hits one country, forcing the inhabitants to flee and seek refuge among their foreign neighbors.

Strangers is an abstract larp which uses physical methods such as signed concepts and simple movement routines to create two cultures and the feeling of belonging or not belonging to these. It aims to explore refugees trying to fit in, and the reactions among the people who they try to fit in amongst.

This acclaimed scenario by the genre-defining designer Nina Runa Essendrop has been the toast of European festivals and North American larp conventions. Known for her profoundly emotional  and movement-based games, we are thrilled to bring Nina’s Strangers to Minnesota for the first time!
