Valve (Awake) was a larp campaign played in three consecutive summers, comprising of altogether nine events in 2011-2013. The first year of Valve received support from the Alvar Aalto Foundation. The basic idea was to study whether immersion to a character would alter the way the players perceived their everyday surroundings. The main subtext for the campaign came from Pedro Calderón de la Barca's play, Life is a Dream (16??). The campaign was designed to combine three separate storylines with each utilising their distinct but intertwined fantastic settings.
