This is a rerun of our Palestinian-Finnish larp Halat hisar, played in Finland in 2013. Our aim is to recreate the political conditions Palestinians live under in Finland. The larp takes place in the present day, in an alternate world where Finns live under occupation.
The characters are students and staff, as well as journalists and foreign activists, at the University of Helsinki in the Occupied Finnish Territories. They live through their day, going to class, working and dealing with the challenges presented by the occupying forces.
