Deep Time Transcestors-larp

Deep Time Transcestors -larp is a speculative fiction about evolution. The game opens up a multidimensional time-space continuum, in which players explore how it feels to embody their trans ancestors’ bodies through somatic and fictive exercises. The aim for the players is to embody the fundamental queerness of evolution, and display the source of life as trans and non-binary.

The players study their pre-vertebrate, pulsing, watery bodies through sense and movement. As the game advances, the players form a protective hybrid trans ancestor symbionts in physical contact with each other.* The game is mostly non-verbal and centers on movement and touch. Essential game and consent techniques are rehearsed beforehand.

The game is for transgender, non-binary, and genderqueer players.
