 Live action RPG show the world in a new light that has been created under the impact of mass culture. Elements of pop culture as movies, books and computer game characters become someone’s new identity. Everyday life is changed into a parallel world – the world of fantasy, where future, past and present are not separated. Everything that does not seem possible in the real world, is possible in this parallel world. Office man, student, director of a hospital, nurse, militarist, jewelery trader, teacher becomes a sorcerer, ork, zombie, troll, elf, moss man or goblin. Dreams and desire to be a hero are realized and enacted. The space around these heroes works as an interspace which creates a natural distance between these characters and the viewer. So, how can we seperate a fantasy world from the real world? Maybe, there is no way of doing that...
