"Horde: The Summit of Elemental Discord"
“Horde: The Summit of Elemental Discord” erupts at A-MAZE Festival, transforming Berlin’s Silent Green into the Grand Hall of the Boho Elves-a surreal arena for this genre-bending LARP adventure that fuses art, technology, and immersive chaos. Following the anarchic energy of “Horde: Goblin Mode,” this second chapter invites players into Verdantia, a fractured world on the brink of collapse. Here, anarchists, technocrats, nature mystics, and industrialists clash in a volatile summit to debate the climate crisis amidst rituals, intrigue, and explosive betrayals. The historic and atmospheric setting of Silent Green Kulturquartier perfectly complements the narrative’s tension, turning its halls into a dynamic stage for faction-led rituals, cryptic AI interventions, and collaborative storytelling. Guided by P.A.S.C.A.L.E.-a rogue AI oracle embedded in a fungal-biotechnological supercomputer-players become emissaries, saboteurs, and disruptors, shaping a collective narrative where every choice tilts the fragile balance of Verdantia’s fate. The silent green Kulturquartier is an ideal setting for unfolding the next chapter of “Horde”, building on the foundations laid by “Goblin Mode” and its factions—the Malthusian Elves, Swamp Goons, Carbon Knights, and Anarchist Goblins—that first rose from the ashes of Overkill Festival 2023. With its evocative architecture and diverse spaces, silent green offers a rich tapestry of locations that enhance the immersive LARP experience. It becomes a stage where players and participants can blur the boundaries between reality and roleplay, seamlessly integrating the multidisciplinary aesthetics and layered narratives that define “Horde”. “Summit of Elemental Discord” turns A MAZE into an experimental playground for speculative futures, anarchic energy, and participatory art-tech exploration. The Festival Audience won’t just spectate-they’ll become part of the chaos, embodying roles that redefine what it means to play, create, and disrupt. In the atmospheric corridors of Silent Green, the fate of Verdantia will be written-by you. Will harmony emerge, or will elemental discord reign supreme?
