“Hvid Død (White Death) is a black-box larp focusing on non-verbal physical play. It portrays an allegorical story of settlers trying to set up a community, but breaking apart and dying one by one. The play uses physical restrictions and symbolic props as a central mechanics, as well as a theatric lighting and a thematic soundscape. Hvit Død was the first larp in the Nordic tradition where the players are not allowed to talk at all. At the same time, the scenario sticks to a set, stylized story where the players explore the details. Hvit Død has been influential to larps such as I know you are but who am I?, The Heist, Inside myself outside myself, and Beginning.”
