Franz Kafka meets "A Clockwork Orange" as written by Immanuel Kant.

Confront choices. Face ethical decisions. Make up your fucking mind.

Written by Mike Pohjola ("Manifest of the Turku School", laitos) and Eirik Fatland ("Dogma 99", Europa), two of the Nordic countries' best known LARPwrights.

It's a LARP. No more than 15 players. It's written in English, but will be played in Swedish. No monsters. No magic. Today, inside : outside will be emotionally and psychologically demanding, open fpr mature participants only. It'll happen during SydCon.

"with fatland and pohjola joining forces at last... a pox on all who doubt the depth of the endeavour. they're like lucille ball and desi arnaz - in a few years, they'll own the studio.

...

the players [...] will be going to places they never even dreamed of."

A bunch of strangers wake up in a white cube, not knowing how or why. They are all prisoners, wearing white, numbered overalls. A voice calls them by numbers, one at a time, to the next room. In the other room, another voice accuses them of unspecified crimes, holds philosophical monologues, and forces them to confront ethical dilemmas. Then the prisoner is returned with the others. At random times, or if the prisoners are difficult, guards enter the cell and beat up the prisoners.

This Nordic larp classic explores game theoretic ideas of The Prisoner’s Dilemma and Wolf’s Dilemma. It has been influenced by writings of Franz Kafka, Samuel Beckett, George Orwell and Jean-Paul Sartre, as well as the films A Clockwork Orange (1971) and The Cube (1997).
