The East - International larp

TIME IS RUNNING OUT - www.grv.it/theeast/en
• The world is on the brink of catastrophe. Who or what can save it?
• News, idealism, activism, civil disobedience, degrowth, radical action. The truth is out there.
• Power pretends to be blind. The paradigm must change.

The East is a thriller - spy story - crime larp.

A story set in the present day but looking towards a very near future, with the ambition of providing a chance to think about complex and extremely contemporary themes such as environmentalism, climate change, the future of our planet, idealism, and concrete actions.

Science, technology, politics, and individual and collective morality are from today, but we look into tomorrow, into a future that appears increasingly dark and catastrophic every day that passes. Scientific evidence and conspiracy theories blur into a whirlwind of good intentions and cries of doomsayers.

In The East, you will have the opportunity to explore radical choices of happy degrowth, virtuous practices, and a return to a community existence where adherence to strong ideals becomes spirituality and deep sharing.
On the other hand, the world out there does not stop, and there will be an opportunity to interact with computers, drivable cars and vans, transmitters, video calls, phones, blank guns, video surveillance devices, and more.
A contradiction that reflects the many dichotomies that will be at the heart of this story.
