Still Cats

This is a larp about pondering deep philosophical questions… or not. You could just think about the small red dot. After all, you’re a cat. Well, you might also be a human, but then you’ll be too busy herding cats in the name of capitalism to think about philosophy.

The larp supports two tones of play, one of which can be decided on before the game: a more lighthearted tone, where the cats seek answers to questions like “How to capture the little humans inside the TV?”, and a more serious tone, where the cats discuss topics like illness, bereavement, bullying or trust issues (which somehow feel even sadder when seen from the perspective of innocent animals).

Still Cats is heavily inspired by the larp Still Life by Wendy Gorman, David Hertz and Heather Silsbee, one of the winners of Golden Cobra 2014 – the rocks are replaced by very sleepy cats, which also changes the nature of the philosophical questions they’re asking themselves and each other.
