About the larp
In two remote, other-worldy places, two groups of individuals find a clearing and establish communities. Over time, as the environment evolves and changes, the communities are challenged to adapt in response to an unstable world. This is a larp about resilience, cultural diversity and the possibility of working for the common good.
Content Warnings: The use of balloons.
