about the show.

Step into Middlesbrough’s possible futures in Becoming ‘Boro, a Live Action Role Play (LARP). Bring your memories, imagination, and experiences to co-create the town’s tomorrow through immersive storytelling and play. Devised by Ruth Catlow (Furtherfield) and Cecilia Wee with and for Middlesbrough residents, artists, and civic collaborators of all kinds, this event explores history, present tensions, and future possibilities. Using two sets of "power objects", we’ll time-travel together, exploring ideas, discovering fresh perspectives, and rehearsing meaningful change. LARP is a proven way to gain insights into the more-than-human world, to test ideas, and spark new ways of thinking, feeling and relating to each other, especially in times of uncertainty.

Meet your neighbours... in the future.
