Reborn

You are not your body.

You are not who you were before.

You are reborn, and you leave all your grievances, fears and trappings behind.

Step into the Reborn Society, where everything about society is reimagined from the ground up. Embrace the collective, embrace four new genders and embrace a dissolution of the ego.

Reborn is designed and written by Atropos and runs in October 2018, 12-14th, in Gothenburg, Sweden. It is inspired by the Swedish larp Livsgäld, made by Kajsa Seinegård and parts of the Atropos team in 2014.

Long Description

Reborn is a larp about living life with different norms and different expectations than the ones we know as participants. It tells the story about an isolated commune of individuals in a close future who have splintered off from society in order to rebuild a new one from the ground up. Through collective action and positive reinforcement everyone is born anew as a better, more caring and more harmonious individual.

In Reborn, you will explore a society where they replace the binary gender norms with a rigid system of four genders, genders that this new society assign you when you are either born – as most are – in the commune, or when you undergo the Rebirth – the process of entering their commune from the outside. The commune itself embraces values like introspection, harmonious atmosphere, acceptance, backing down, good enough and polyamorous love.

The story at the larp is one where an old, infected trauma rises up to the surface and how the commune handles it, works around it and in the end, solves it in a way that allows the continued existence and happiness of the commune members, even at an individual cost for the ones involved.
