Holding My Breath
A two person larp about a selkie, a human, and the vise-like grip of domestic life. (CW: controlling behavior, dysfuntional domestic life) A two hour game in which one player is a selkie and the other is a human who has stolen the selkies skin. This game is played while the selkie cooks the human dinner, and furtively searches for a key hidden in the kitchen. It focuses on a dysfunctional domestic dynamic where one partner has control over the other's freedom and form.   (Yes you might have to hold your breath for real.) Includes originial sketches.  Thank you to  Jeeyon Shim, Jay Dragon, Frisco Cruise, and Mabel Harper for proofreading!
