Description
Transmigration of Souls is an abstract non-verbal chamber larp where players encounter an interpretation of reincarnation, or transmigration of souls, through a powerful multi-sensory experience.
Characters are based upon souls who migrate through different non-human entities and face catastrophe to the point of extinction. They choose how their soul continues in the next life, and how new their rebirth will be. This larp looks death in the eye and doesn’t blink.
Whilst the majority of play is movement based and bodily expression is the primary form of interaction, in addition there are concepts borrowed from shamanism; meditative, sensory ‘baths’ aiming to create something close to a psychedelic experience for players, immersed in the limbo between death and reincarnation.
Incorporating intensity of sound, movement, smell, taste and touch, these elements can be scaled for individuals to accommodate different styles of play or access needs. Players should be comfortable with at least some level of touch for the experience to be effective. If any players have any allergies then please let me know in advance.
Content Warnings: Darkness, dramatised death
