Description

Games of the Oppressed is an experimental set of micro-larps, built by students at Tampere University to present real forms of injustice, unfairness or exploitation in day to day life. These short form games seek to move the values of Theater of the Oppressed into the medium of games and larp design.

Participants will play these 10-minute long larps and engage in structured forms of changing characters, rules, and discussion to unearth larps’ simulative and transformative potential for systems of engagement and feedback that we operate under in our lives.

Games of the Oppressed is an item with several runs of several nano-larps: You're So Cute When You're Angry, Genitas Corp, Begging for Science, and Thesis Defence.
