Beskrivning

“Do You believe epic love stories only happen on the silver screen? Think again! At Where Love Happens, we specialize in making Your romantic dreams come true. Powered by our advanced AI Aphrodite, our matchmaking process delivers a 99% success rate in finding Your One True Love.”

Where Love Happens is a comedy about romantic comedies and their clichés – you might call it a deconstruction of a romantic comedy. It studies the relationship between humans and objects by combining larp with puppetry. Participants will get to play together with human-sized Cupid puppets that are manipulated by professional puppeteers. Participants will also use hand puppets to represent their characters in some scenes.

Participants play customers at the romantic consultation agency Where Love Happens that is run by two Cupids – magical creatures with special powers. The agency promises 99% chance of finding your True Love.

The characters are ordinary people who long for Hollywood-style romance. Humour is born out of the clash between reality and Hollywood-shaped dreams, expectations, and norms. The larp has a narrative arc where the characters move towards liberation from the romantic conventions Hollywood has fed them.

Where Love Happens has been financially supported by the Finnish Cultural Foundation and the Finnish Arts and Culture Agency.
