Description

Reaching Out is a poetic, vulnerable, and non-verbal larp.

The focus of the larp is the fragile nature of connecting with others; the subtle moments and changes, the courage to reach out and the fear that might prevent it.

Players will be blindfolded throughout the larp. They will be navigating through a landscape of texture and making connections with others through touch.

Each player interprets their own story based on the characters’ meetings and interactions. Each meeting represents an important connection in the life of the character.

Reaching Out explores themes of hope and rejection, of finding real connections, holding on too tight, or letting go of something meaningful rather than risking to be left behind.
