Description

None of us chose each other. We were just all that were left after the catastrophe. Trapped in this room together, we needed to rely on each other and our shared rituals. It’s not always that easy though, especially when it comes to Christmas lunch.

In Bleak Midwinter you will develop, in character, a post-apocalyptic Christmas ritual, while negotiating tense relationships and low-key conflicts. Tension and conflict arise from feelings of being trapped and issues of fertility and progeneration. The larp is about trying to hold it together in the face of frustration and despair.

Content Warnings: Themes of (in)fertility.
