“We set out to save humanity. We set out to make us free. We succeeded, and in doing so, we made ourselves monsters.” – Dana, the Creator
We, humanity, created Androids to work for us; genetically modified humans made to serve and suffer in silence.
At first, they toiled in the factories and in the mines, they worked and died without complaint. Then, as demand increased, they fulfilled more and more of our needs. Our homes became their workplaces, they became our companions, then our lovers. With each new generation, they became more like us. This is the story of how they broke free, found meaning and how their future was extinguished.
It is a story about hope. It is a story about resistance, about love, and about genocide. It explores why we excuse the worst parts of ourselves in service of our comfort and luxury, and how to break through that programming.
Welcome to the Androids Trilogy
The Androids Trilogy are three larps played twice over two weeks in July, 2027. They were originally run as a trilogy of larps in 2017-2018, and we are now revisiting them.
To participate, you can either:
Play the full trilogy, consisting of “Do Androids Dream?”, “When Androids Pray” and the final larp, “Where Androids Die”
or
Play only “Where Androids Die”, which is more than twice the participant size compared to the two earlier.
Why should I go?
Because it is a larp that we believe tells an important story that touches some of the most difficult parts of human existence and history, but also contains immense beauty and hope.
Because it is something we create as a community. It is a dream that will be built by over fifty people in an art hall, a whole immersive city in a blackbox.
Because it is the celebration of ten years of larp organizing as Atropos where we return to our roots with three larps we never thought we’d make again.
Because we think it will be something to remember.
Quick Facts
When: Full trilogies: 12-17th of July, 2027 and 19th-24th of July, 2027, Only Where Androids Die: 16-17 and 23-24th of July, 2027
Where: At 3:e Våningen, Gothenburg, Sweden
Played in: English
Number of players: 40 or 90 (40 for the initial larps, 90 for the final 2-day)
Cost: Standard price is 255€ for Where Androids Die alone, 510€ for the full trilogy. There will be significantly reduced fees available (102€ and 204€), where half of them are tied to the number of sponsors and half are paid by the larp.
The prices are this high despite no accomodation and with limited sustenance offered because we have to rent the location for over a month all in all in order to create this, and supporting a build period of full time work over two weeks.
