MEDEA

2017

.

Scripted role-playing game for 16 characters; 90 min gameplay

.

Inspired by Pier Paolo Pasolini’s 1969 adaptation of the Greek tragedy Medea, this LARP reimagines the mythical narrative within the context of ecological crisis and resource collapse. The story unfolds on a drifting island of plastic waste, rumored to be inhabited by exiles who have built a self-sustaining society powered by bacteria capable of digesting plastic and radioactive material. A corporate-backed team called the Argonauts is sent to investigate. Divided in purpose, one faction seeks a figure known as Medea, the keeper of ecological knowledge; the other aims to ignite the mission as a spark for global revolution.
