The Gaze of the Beast

A live-action roleplaying game about vampires, desire, violence, and the shifting relationship between a beast and a prospective victim. Players work in pairs, with one portraying the vampire and the other developing a human character who may or may not become a victim. The vampire can take forms ranging from an elegant, emotionless gentleman to a feral and violent creature. The roleplay unfolds in three acts: The Gaze, The Encounter, and The Resolution. Physical exercises, character preparation, voice-over instructions, lighting, music, and sound guide the scenes. The level of physical contact is decided by the participants, with activities between acts supporting the progression of each story.
