Tango For Two

Genre: Experimental
“We
enter this world alone. We leave it pretty much the same way. And in-between, a
dance we call life. Problem is it takes two to Tango. So we look for signs;
something to help us to find our perfect partners. A smile, a wave. But we have
to be careful; because while some signs can be misinterpreted, others can be
missed completely… Some dances you sit out. Others you change partners. The
important thing is… you never stop dancing.” – Chuck Fishman, Early Edition
Tango
for Two is a one-evening LARP experiment by Even Tomte and Tor Kjetil Edland.
Two players will act different parts of one character’s personality. Either you
play the conscious self, or the underlying desires of the person. The two of
them work in tandem, each one of them being the dominant part in different
phases of the game.
Tango
for Two is about cooperation and musicality, about compromise and conflict, and
about taking and giving away – or losing – control. The LARP has been played in
Oslo, at the Nordic LARP conference Solmukohta 2008 in Finland and at the
Theatre Without Borders Festival.
