'''Valley of Shadow''' is a Czech experimental larp, combining scenes where players ‘larp as usual’ with ones where they communicate using only dance – specifically blues dancing.
==Summary==
<blockquote>''Valley of Shadow is set in a noir-style prison. It explores topics such as hopelessness, the cycle of violence, powerlessness – but also love, forgiveness and mercy. All the characters are members of a mobster “family” who got into a hopeless situation – partly through a fault of their own; partly because of an outside influence. At night, the prison falls silent and the characters return to their cells; to dream of a better life, in which they avoided their greatest mistake and did not choose hatred. The dream scenes will use blues dancing as a platform of communication, and they will tell a much lighter story of the golden youth of the jazz era and their one true love.''</blockquote>
==Statistics==
The game is for 36 players in one run and it takes cca 3 hours.
Before the game, there are two days of workshops of Blues dancing and creation of characters and their stories.
Participation fee is 110 - 140 EUR per run, food and hostel style accomodation included.
The game has minimalistic and symbolic scenography.
==Techniques==
* [[Pre-larp Workshop]]
* Played through dance
==Articles==
In Knutepunkt book 2019.
