SOMETHING ELSE MATTERS


- A FICTIVE ROLEPLAY AND DOCUMENTARY SCREENING
by Lena Bondeson & The Squat

SOMETHING ELSE MATTERS is both a larp-performance (live action role-play) and a screening of a mockumentary. By paraphrasing the 2004 documentary Some Kind of Monster, about the famous heavy metal band Metallica, The Squat - a role play group - role-plays Metallica while filming a documentary about their themselves and their own group dynamic struggles, on their journey of becoming a fake “band”;
Over two years they lived, larped and learned from the best none other than Metallica, how to, or how not, be a band. 


︎ Where Metallica plays instruments -  we play Metallica
(or as our producer Bob usually puts it: “Larp:ing is our music”)

︎ In the Squat we make angry paraphrases of Metallica without negative energy
(or as our bandtherapist Phil says it: “Get into The Zone - but don´t destroy”)

︎ Therapy is a missile - we aim to use it wisely
(or as Jason used to say before he left the band: “Therapy is lame - but conflicts are worse”)
