Description

Produce, Obey, and have a merry christmas!

Midwinter is a Nordic larp about the ultimate form of patriarchal capitalism: Santa's Workshop — and the jolly elves who toil there. It is a dystopian machine churning out toys and distorting age-old legends of Christmas.
​
The true stories of the elves have been silenced and forgotten. Rigid corporate policies dictate everything from caroling to candy canes and mandatory jollity inspections. Everyone wears a happy smile while keeping themselves busy — anything else would be a sign of serious indiscretion and idleness.

Memories of heartfelt joy and laughter, spirited work and play, and restful sleep with a full stomach are nothing but a dream. A dangerous dream. A naughty dream.
