Monk, Don't Get Angry - Monasteries in Games and Modern Media

Learning about monasteries through play. Together we want to discover that medieval monasteries were not only centers of faith and knowledge, but also ideal for playing games. In a monastery you live by fixed rules - just as every game has its rules.
Mysterious abbeys, beer-brewing monks, warlike nuns, vanishing books. Various analog and digital games will be used to show how monasteries can be represented here.
Start 17:00 o'clock
End 00:00 o'clock
