Summer of 69

Summer of 69 - by Mikkel Funch Brunberg is a larp about patients who have been suffering for years, before they are returned to a healthy condition for one single summer. A heartwarming and though-provoking scenario about how we see each other as humans.

1969, Beth Abraham Hospital, Bronx, NY: It’s easy but loveless work, the everyday existing alongside the catatonic patients. Living but barely alive, the years silently creep past them.

As a new drug is administered, the patients come to life after decades of standstill. The friendships that follow create a sense of community and purpose; they make everyone bloom anew and truly live.

But miracles don’t last forever.

In Summer of ‘69, players will take on the roles of patients and orderlies as the new drug takes effect, as the patients experience the world anew, and as the effects of the drug inevitably wear off and the patients revert to their catatonic state. Only now surrounded by love.
