Description:

It is 1832 and the time for change is now. The riot is all around you. The people of Paris are rising up to fight by your side. You and your friends have finally made it. Onwards to the barricades. Long live the revolution!

Beyond the Barricades (Bortom Barrikaderna, by Rosalind Göthberg and Eva Wei) is a theatrical and flamboyant three-act LARP about ten friends on a barricade in the revolutionary Paris. We explore how idealism and friendship bring the characters together and how doubt and unfairness tear them apart. When everything comes to a head, each and every one have to consider whether their ideals are worth dying for, or if they choose to betray their beliefs as well as their friends to save themselves or someone they love.

This LARP is a cinematic game created in the Nordic Larp tradition with a very light ruleset and focus on player-driven character interaction. Players are introduced to the LARP through a 1-hour workshop while the LARP itself runs for about 2 hour. There will be a debrief in the time remaining.

The entire game will be played in a blackbox with some sound and light effects, but for the complete theatrical experience, we will provide some props and costumes. Players are encouraged to bring neutral clothes.
