Description

It is 6th of August in 1945, and the world is never going to be the same again. 6th of August is a two-part larp that explores the atomic bombing of Hiroshima from two viewpoints. Part I: Sky focuses on a bomber crew on its way to the target. The flying weather is good, and there are two hours to the destination. Time passes slowly, there is plenty of time for chit-chat and crosswords. The Japanese air defence is no longer a problem.

Other things to note: This is the first part of a two-part larp 6th of August. Participants are expected to take part also in part II: Earth where they take the roles of ordinary people living in Hiroshima.
