In our first event, we’ll embrace the transformative potential of gaming. Divadlo X10 will become an updated LAN Party, version 2024.01. You can expect theatre games, community games and social (video) games. A party where visitors’ physical bodies will be dissolved into a digital conglomeration of 1s and 0s. And vice-versa.
An all-night open zone for the exploration of fantastical worlds, Y: LAN Party will focus on the creation of amoebic, fluid identities, worlds and spaces. No one can be sure of reality, because the virtual isn’t the opposite of reality, but an inseparable part of it. LARPers use the term “bleed” to describe the moment when “the world of the game” begins to spill over into “reality.” We’re opening the floodgates and engaging in transformation with a very specific goal – to enjoy a moment of disconnection from the everyday, economised and normalised environment. Or, on the contrary: a welcome and wanted connection, where I/we voluntarily accept someone else’s rules and allow myself/ourselves to be led through a transformed landscape that ultimately seeps into the landscape of the everyday.
It is possible to enter the venue from 18:30 and as a proper gamer's lair, it will remain open till late night hours.
