The Larpocracy team will join The Smoke in the United Kingdom this year to run three larps designed in the project: The Assembly, Sandleford, and the world premiere of Midsummer in Walden. Here is the information:
The Assembly
Sarah Lynne Bowman, Perola Öberg, Josephine Rydberg & Kjell Hedgard Hugaas
Saturday, Jan. 9, 16:00
The Assembly is a larp about community members engaging in democratic deliberation about issues related to tensions between bodily autonomy and public safety. People from diverse backgrounds and political perspectives have been invited to take part in an Assembly to share their thoughts and feelings about legalizing the psychoactive substance psilocybin. At the end of the scenario, the community members will collectively construct guidelines that will be considered at the next parliamentary session.
The larp takes place in a fictional version of Sweden. The Assembly focuses on articulating a position on an issue and listening deeply to the positions of others. The emphasis is on building common understanding rather than increasing dramatic intensity. While the characters will discuss the decriminalization and legalization of a drug, the goal is to practice necessary skills for a functioning democracy.The larp takes place in a fictional version of Sweden.
