12pm - 4pm
Semi-public playtest at au JUS & surrounding sites in Brussels

During a time of ecological unravelling, Plutonic Bonding is a psychogeographic LARP connecting players to terrains across multiple timelines at au JUS and its surrounding sites. Equipped with an inventory device applying the method of loci, a shallowly deep lore of the cosmos is uncovered as characters are guided to encounter and encode the entities inhabiting the land – whomst may well hold the key to accelerating extreme microclimates of the near future.

Bea & Nick focus on bringing groups of people together as temporary autonomous communities to explore reciprocity, play and embodied worlding in online and offline formats. Their residency at au JUS will continue their work with groups and collectives, fostering artworlds of weirdness and experimentation.
