Description
BORDERS is a black box larp centered on the experience of frontier and boundaries. Starting from the historical facts that happened in Fiume in 1920, the game revolves around the concept of barriers. Guided by an essential scenario, made up of symbols, lights and a continuous audio track.
What happens if you are separated from the people you love? What is a border? Are borders an imposition or a free choice? And also: how do you recognize your limits? How do you get the instruments to cross them?
Borders is a blackbox larp centred on the experience of frontiers and boundaries. Starting from the historical facts that happened in Fiume in 1920, the larp revolves around the concept of barriers. Guided by an essential scenario — made up of symbols, lights, and sounds — the characters, Croatian and Hungarian refugees, go through the tragedy of crossing borders in a Kafkaesque, intense, dramatic, but ironic atmosphere. What happens if you are separated from the people you love? What is a border? Are borders an imposition or a free choice? And also: how do you recognize your limits? How do you find the instruments to cross them?
