The first scientific engagement live action role play

A LARP (live action role play) is a participatory art form in which a choral narrative comes to life through the choices and improvisations of each player. In Europe, approximately 100,000 people play LARPs, and many more use this tool for educational, outreach, or training purposes.
During a LARP, players, without an audience interfering with their experience, take on the roles of fictional characters, be they fantasy adventurers, Western gunslingers, or astrophysicists searching for the truth. There are no written lines to recite, but rather a shared scenario on which to base their choices and improvisation.
Thanks to its emergent and deeply personal nature, LARP is renowned for its power of engagement, both emotionally and intellectually, making it the perfect medium for this scientific engagement project.
Scientific Engagement
Scientific Engagement
With Null Hypothesis, we wanted to experiment with the use of game theory to promote scientific content. In this case, we will use acting and improvisation to explore the scientific method, the advances in astrophysics, and the broader historical context of the Medicina radio astronomy station.
