A group of pioneers once set out for the mountains with the aim of creating a new society, bringing only the absolute necessities, as well as their faith and dreams. While having the best intentions, the pioneers couldn’t succeed. Life in the mountains turned out to be hard and demanding. One by one, the snow embraced them, giving them silence, peace, tranquillity and light.

The players are physically guided through feelings like anger, frustration, sorrow, and fear – and the feelings of peace and closeness following their deaths. Music by Tom Waits, Nick Cave and Johnny Cash sets the mood.

Engang drog en flok pionerer op i bjergene for at skabe et nyt samfund.

Med sig havde de kun det mest nødvendige, samt håb og drømme om en ny og bedre tilværelse end den, de hidtil havde kendt.

Men livet i bjergene var hårdt og barskt. Her fandt de kun kulde og mørke, skænderier og en daglig kamp mod naturen og mod hinanden.

De var i sneens land. Hårdt og koldt, lyst og blødt.

De var gået for langt og kunne ikke længere finde deres vej tilbage.

Èn efter en kom sneen og tog dem i sin bløde favn og gav dem ro og fred og hvile. Stilhed og lys.

Handling:
Spillet handler om at opleve de følelser af frustration, vrede, sorg, skuffelse og frygt, som nybyggerne gennemlever i deres kamp for at overleve - og derefter følelsen af en altomfavnende kærlighed og nærhed, som følger med døden i sneen.

Genre:
Dette er ikke et realistisk, men et poetisk scenarie.

Spillertype:
For spillere med hang til indlevelse og lyst til at udforske nye måder at skabe denne på.

Spilelementer:
Scenariet er uden ord, men vil bruge bevægelse som kommunikation og som et middel til at opnå indlevelse i pionerernes situation. Derudover vil der være fokus på musik som ydre påvirkning. Tom Waits, Nick Cave og Johnny Cash sætter stemningen.

A group of pioneers once set out for the mountains with the aim of creating a new society, bringing only absolute necessities, as well as their hopes and dreams. They had the best intentions but couldn’t succeed. Life in the mountains was too hard; too demanding. They had traveled too far, and couldn’t find their way back. One by one, the snow embraced them, giving them silence, peace and rest. Tranquility and light.

The genre is not realistic but rather uses an abstract, poetic approach. White Death is a blackbox scenario without words. This means all communication is done physically. The game is completely transparent and the focus is on the atmosphere rather than the outcome.

There are no character sheets for this game, and there will be no casting form. For the first hour, players will work through exercises to help them develop a physical characterization. The scenario will play out through physical roleplay over the second hour.

**Content Warning:** This game explores what it is to be human in extreme survival situations. By the end, the characters will die. This game requires physical exertion. Players will be in physical contact with each other, may end up on the floor or in uncomfortable positions. There will not be chairs in the game space, although players can step out of play to sit. There will be exposure to latex, loud noises, and harsh lights.

**Age Restriction** : 14+

En korsning av lajv och kontaktimpro, baserat på en historia om nybyggare som ger sig ut i bergen, men stupar en efter en av kylan. Lajvet kommer inte vara realistiskt, utan symboliskt och poetiskt. Vit död är ett scenario utan ord, och all kommunikation sker genom kroppsspråk.
