What is the project about?
The core idea behind our experience is to immerse the audience in the atmosphere of18th-century Austria and the world of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. An additional element – and the theme of the event – is the murder mystery. By interacting with the actors playing other guests and searching the rooms for clues to solve the murder mystery, the audience will have the chance to learn more about Mozart’s life and even meet his family.
The plot revolves around the fictional murder of Mozart.
Whilst the story itself remains a work of fiction and is not an accurate account of any specific event, we believe that this setting is very much in keeping with Mozart’s spirit, as he loved fun, jokes and pranks. It is also loosely based on the popular theory that Mozart may have been poisoned by Antonio Salieri, who envied him, although we take this theory in a different direction.
