The aim of the current article is to investigatelarp (acronym for Live Action Role Playing Game)- a contemporary artistic form of expression that has strong presence in Scandinavian countries and was brought to Brazil in recent years- and its relation to the performativity of artists from other scenic fields, with emphasis on theater. Based on the concept of performativity, we address the relation between larp and theater/performance, besides analyzing how some concepts by Russian director Constantin Stanislavski may be related to larp. Finally, we investigate how the practice of different games - larp art products- can help actors/performers to do their work.
