Omløp

A sensory science fiction larp played in a sauna.

We are in The Future and The Skinn Library is one of the most well known public institutions in the world. Almost everyone uses their services. In The Future people can experience the world through a variety of bodies by borrowing bodies from The Skinn Library. A person’s memory and personality is stored on a chip that can be moved from one body to another.

Omløp is about a group of librarians who work at a local branch of The Skinn Library who have received a batch of returned bodies from borrowers. Today they are inhabiting these bodies to cleanse and ready them for new borrowers.

The larp will have a workshop where we go through how we will play the larp and create characters together. We then move to a sauna where the larp itself will be played. This larp will not focus on conflict or relationship drama but on bodily sensations, physical memories and collegiality.

The larp is played nude in a sauna.
