Larp: In the Belly of the Whale

Summary

A murderer, a coward, a liar, a drunk, and an orphan wake inside a whale. Their last memory is the sound of cracking wood and screaming as the ship, suddenly hit on the starboard side with enough force to throw everyone hard off their feet, began to sink. A form, too large for any of them to truely fathom, broke the water. And now they're here, in the belly of the beast. Alone, with each other.

Description

“The idea that the passage of the magical threshold is a transit into a sphere of rebirth is symbolized in the worldwide womb image of the belly of the whale. The hero, instead of conquering or conciliating the power of the threshold, is swallowed into the unknown and would appear to have died. This popular motif gives emphasis to the lesson that the passage of the threshold is a form of self-annihilation. Instead of passing outward, beyond the confines of the visible world, the hero goes inward, to be born again.” — Joseph Campbell, The Hero’s Journey
