Lecture: Italian Prog Larp

Description
Hey, mainstream larp in Italy is quite similar to the rest of the world (you know, Vampire larps, boffer larps and the like), so you smart KP-goers don't need more than five minutes about it. After those five minutes (OK, ten minutes if you're particularly interested), I'll talk about those Italian larps which (maybe unknowingly) are quite different from the mass. The general idea is to give you some basic info about the historical development of these weird phenomena, with practical examples from a number of interesting, experimental, moving, outrageous larps from different scenes across our funny boot-shaped peninsula. I expect questions and discussion. Come as you are. Italian prog rock and cantuccini will be freely distributed. Cantuccini are a kind of biscuits.

Who
Andrea Castellani is 33 year old. He passed smoothly from pretend play to murder mystery games, then to the "Flying Circus" tradition of Italian theatre-style larp, and finally he elaborated his own "Karstic Style" of larping (see this year's Knutebook). He lives in Prosecco (near Trieste) and Milan, and he works in zoology, science communication and history of science.
