Tom K Kemp presents “The Fifth Fire,” a live-action role-playing game (LARP) where the element of fire is on strike, halting all combustion. Participants take on the roles of human negotiators, engaging in dialogue with fire to address the crisis. The game is open and adaptable, evolving based on players’ interactions and decisions, reshaping the narrative with each session. This workshop is part of the “Side Quest for the Real” exhibition and explores innovative forms of contribution, inclusion, and collective reflection. It is accessible to all and requires no prior experience in role-playing games.
