Beschreibung

“Shadows of the Forgotten” is a Blackbox LARP inspired by the cult Ukrainian movie of the same name, and our love for the vibrant Hutsul culture. Experience life, passion, feuds, myths, witchcraft, and death in a small village nested in the heart of the Carpathian mountains. Take part in rituals and family drama in a place forgotten by time, where the line between the mundane and the sacred blurs. The game genre is magical realism, where day-to-day life and drama coexist with forest spirits, witches, and the shadows of the dead.

Players will receive a pre-written character of a village resident, with their story inspired by classical Ukrainian literature. Most characters can be played by players of any gender. Together we will play out five seasons of the village's life: Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, and then Spring again. Each season will begin with the community gathering for traditional rituals using the Ritual Improv technique. The rest of the season will be free play, whereyou will explore your character's relations and conflicts as they change with the passage of time.

No preparation is required. Wear neutral-colored clothing.
