Summary
Dance Macabre is a dance larp inspired by the chapter Danse Macabre in Neil Gaiman`s Graveyard Book and a Dannish Game In Fair Verona. The game is set in current Europe, but the exact time and place does not play an imporant role in the game. The game takes cca three hours and players play their characters only through dancing Tango Argentino. It is a story about love, death and serching for new future. The game is preceded by two days of workshops to learn playing through dancing and to create characters and their story.
