„yea, a desserte of lapwynges, a shrewednes of apes, a raffull of knaues and a gagle of gees.“
a story not to be told: the story of SICKERMOOR, of a twisted family and a secret. the project took place in the partly ruined IHME-ZENTRUM in hannover (ger) with a max. of 10 participants each turn. the event included workshops, discussions and a 24h long live role-playing game.
