For all our LARP fans
Indeed my LARPer friends, we come bearing excellent news!
Olisippo Obscura will be present next month at Sci-fi Lx 2015!
Olisippo Obscura was created with the aim to promote and organize LARP events in Lisbon.
For those of you who are, right about now, wondering what LARP is, let us explain. LARP it is a form of playful improvisational theatre with an expressive interpretation and interaction, through a fictional alter-ego (“Character”) created by each one “Player” that acts in a fantasy world created by a “Storyteller” (ST), based on the settings of the books of the WhiteWolf in respect of all those who participate.
The ST creates the plot, in which every character has a role and various goals to achieve, and where every singular action could lead to different outcomes: it is not a “pre-made” story, but every player contributes to the development of the story itself.
A sort of escapism but with the awareness of living in an imaginary world only when the players decide, all together, to enter and act in it.
Olisippo Obscura wants to organize LARP events with gothic and fantasy themes, with the possibility to also wear a costume, for those who desire to characterize the interpretation of their character, always in respect of the other players and of the people and places where we are supposed to perform our events, in full compliance with social rules and good living.
During our event Olisippo Obscura will organize a lecture for those of you who want to find out more about LARP, as well as a couple of LARP workshops and sessions. If you'd like to find out more about them, check out their website!
