Dance Macabre is a dance larp played multiple times in Czech Republic - first time in 2012, currently there is a run of this game prepared to be played in UK.


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.

Statistics

There were 7 runs in Czech Republic - 6 of them in Czech language and 1 in English. The game was currently played by cca 250 players. There is and English run in UK planned for March 2019. Participation fee in Czech Republic was cca 80 EUR per run, food and hostel style of accomodation included. The game has minimalistic and symbolic scenography.
