Apogee and Perigee

Written by Quinn D and Eva Schiffer

Apogee and Perigee is an experimental movement larp where players will rotate in variable orbits as they find themselves closer or further apart in both distance and their expressed opinions. Announced topics are used to increase or decrease a pair’s gravity, eventually leading to their falling out of orbit and finding different partners to continue with. 

This larp explores the bravery of expressing opinions (some of them potentially emotional) in a public space where others may disagree. Players will take on minimal characters in a modern realistic setting. Most play will take place in pairs and players will rotate who they are paired with many times over the course of the game. The scenario has no climactic conclusion, only an interplay of opinions, discussions, and movement.

Downloads include all the materials needed to facilitate and play the game.
