Draconis Lacrimae
Draconis Lacrimae is built upon the collective histories and creatures created during a Fantasy Rol Playing Game campaign. Taking the detailed rules systems from these games as a starting point, the piece explores how representations of identity are saturated with fantasy and speculation.
Role-playing games function as textual and pre-digital tools of identity exploration and world-building, as they invite participants to occupy a liminal role located at the boundaries of person, player and character; a process very similar to that of performance.
Draconis Lacrimae is the fourth installment of the Dragon Pieces, a series of works initiated by Pablo and Federico that fluctuate between monstrosity and transindividual fantasy. Through practices as diverse as synchronized swimming or Role Playing Games, the Dragon Pieces explore representations of collectivity that question hegemonic forms of belonging and narrating ourselves.
