In the end they will lay their freedom at our feet, and say to us, “Make us your slaves, but feed us.” [...] Receiving bread from us, they will see clearly that we take the bread made by their hands from them, to give it to them, without any miracle. [...] in truth they will be more thankful for taking it from our hands than for the bread itself. [...] They will marvel at us and will be awe-stricken before us, and will be proud at our being so powerful and clever that we have been able to subdue such a turbulent flock of thousands of millions.
–Fyodor Dostoevsky, “The Grand Inquisitor”
Last Will is a larp on the fading human dignity in a world run by money and consumption in which people can be bought and sold as commodities. The larp is set in a future where debt and poverty breeds slavery and slavery perpetuate the poverty. Last Will revolves around hope in a hopeless situation where the desire to create a future battle with constant fighting against fear and hunger. In a time when freedom every day is weighed against security and survival the question echoes – What is my value?
Themes
The larp Last Will deals with issues concerning human dignity, capitalism, slavery, human rights, democracy, vulnerability, hope and despair.
Most roles on the larp will be in a very vulnerable position either as a slave with very few rights or workers with almost fewer rights but with a few more possibilities. Last Will is not about revolution or to break oppression; the chains of slavery are built into the very structure of human society and none can escape them. It is about the struggle between the fears of today and hopes for the future. When people are put in the most desperate of situations we also see their strength and their will to live and create a better tomorrow despite overwhelming opposition. Some break, others survive – both routes are part of the story we want to tell.
