Call for Blackbox 2025

Call for Blackbox 2025

Blackbox Cph is a playground. A place to experiment. Here we rather want to test and fail, than aim for polished perfection. In January we take over Valby Kulturhus where we merge Live Action RolePlay with the technical possibilities of the theatrical stage to create a festival for experimental larp design.

Blackbox Cph has access to a large variety of high-quality technical equipment, managed by our excellent tech team. This gives you the opportunity to use light, shadow, sound, projection, and even smoke to create larps that are experienced by all senses. Our team will be able to help you incorporate these possibilities in your larp, so please don’t hesitate to dream up ideas. This is the playground we want you to explore!

Blackbox larps can be of any genre, and can be delightfully silly, camp, satirical, horrifying, playful, and fun and/or deeply serious. They’re a space of exploration where the rules of realism are easily bent, and often subtly reflect and re-interpret cultural tendencies, trends, and issues.

Blackbox Cph 2025 is now accepting proposals for the programme. Whether you are an experienced or a potential designer, we encourage you to send in your ideas. This is where you do it. We wants your ideas. If they´re not fully fledged – we will help them fly.
