Two larpers more or less in costume, having fun with a duel in the Drammen Arena. Now with cheezy lighting effects! Deng in Drammen has a triple agenda: Training for using a weapon more "beliavable" and entertaining (aka the way one see in movies), and less like most american bofferlarpers (hitting so fast one can't count individual hits, making you look like a bored drummer with way too large drumsticks). Training for giving real/proper/entertaining reactions when struck with a larp weapon. Larp fights are in some ways like capoeira. All participants must work together to create something entertaining. If you were your opponent, and hit yourself like he just hit you, what would you want to see? To scream, pull back, cower and yell in agony are all valid choices. A hit is defined by how the hit character reacts. Remember, in LARP there are indeed glorious deaths. Thirdly, we like to have fun. People who have something against dressing up and have weapons duels in parks, or to pretend you're wizards in an occult circle whilst being chased by rigtheous knights? then this is not for you. People who can still let go of their inhibitions and play? Please join :)
