Freak Show is a larp held in an abandoned amusement park in Finland in September 2017. It tells the story of the last freak show and explores otherness through a romantic gothic horror setting. A family of outcasts and freaks struggle to survive in a hostile world. In the end, as the last song fades away, the devil will come to take them all to perform for him forever.

The Freak Show is a one-off Nordic style larp that tells the story of the last days of a circus and freak show. It will be held in an abandoned amusement park in Finland in the autumn of 2017. The participants will experience both the magic and the tragedy of being the other as one of the freaks aligned against a hostile world. The theme of this collaborative work is otherness. We aim for full 360 degree immersion in a romantic gothic horror story setting. This event is not suitable for children.
