Description

Orpheus, god of music, is set to marry the dryad Eurydice. Their glamorous wedding is attended by gods, heroes and spirits who drink and dance and fall in love. But this is not a tale that ends happily ever after - the Moirai, goddesses of fate, have other plans.

Weave of the Moirai is a recreation in English of the celebrated Norwegian larp Moirais Vev from 1997. The four acts of the larp will take us from joy and love to fury and vengeance, and from the land of the living to the land of the dead. The larp is physical, theatrical, musical, erotic, philosophical, brutal and poetic - incorporating multiple Greek myths, drawing on ancient Greek theatre as well as larp ritual improv.

17 participants will play protagonists, pre-written characters with destinies to fulfill, such as the beekeeper-god Aristaios or Argeia princess of Thrace. The remainder will play the chorists - party attendants who sometimes form the Speaking Chorus that will gather to comment in unison on the doings of the protagonists.
