Often, we analyze larp as an intellectual experience, we describe the acts and tell the war stories of our characters as if they only took place in our mind. But larp is different from almost any other game, we dress up, move and act as someone else, acting out genders, ages and social classes not our own in settings from history, movies and fantasy. We use our body and soul, but what do we see when we look in the mirror? This will not be a talk that gives the final answer, but maybe it can be a beginning to a new way to look at larp.
