This larp is about a group of medieval nuns who are told that in five days their abbey will be blessed with a visit from a travelling priest and miracle worker. The priest is making his way through the plague-ridden countryside to deliver a sermon. As they anticipate his benediction, the nuns ruminate on their feelings about themselves, the others, God, and the arrival of the vagabond priest, which has awakened in them unprecedented fears and desires. The larp features some nonverbal play, ritual repetition, and crazy dream sequences.

This larp is about a group of medieval nuns whose lives of routine are disrupted when they are told that in five days their abbey will be blessed with a visit from a traveling priest and miracle worker. As they anticipate his benediction, the nuns ruminate on their feelings about themselves, the others, God, and the arrival of the vagabond priest, which has awakened in them unprecedented fears and desires. Who is this wandering priest to you? Threat, temptation, redemption? Or something else entirely?

Features a strong internal routine repeated multiple times, building a sense of the life of a religious community - and a gorgeous meta-technique for building soundscapes to narrate dreams and visions to.

Workshops explore the lives of medieval nuns, support you in creating your own nun characters, and practice the meta-techniques.

Simple costume wimples will be provided for all participants who want them.
